People are still holding out hope that the electoral loophole pulls through as well..I just hope people aren't setting themselves up for a second disappointment.

I don't know, Trump is already picking a team and Obama is trying to help with the transition. It sounds like Hillary is focused on moving forward from this as well. We get hope from these internet articles but I just don't think anything will change. Of course I'd love it to, but I don't want to get false hope.

I bet there was something fishy with this election. 

What's the problem with recounting? If there's nothing wrong, then there's nothing to hide.

Or is there?

If they indeed do have hard evidence that those votes were manipulated in some way, then she needs to do something, but all hell will break loose.

Didn't Hillary Clinton say that questioning the result of a democratic election was "horrifying?"

 

“It was horrifying what he said. We are a country based on laws. One of our hallmarks has always been that we accept the outcomes of our elections.”

If  the outcome of the election is fought and decided fair-and-square. 

Yeah, if you lose fair-and-square, then you lose. Nothing to do about it but conceding, and in this case, praying that America isn't totally f*cked up.

However, if the results were manipulated and/or changed in Trump's favor. I mean, come on, you can't use that argument. Then there would have to be a recount and an investigation.

Hm. I say go for it, even if the tampering isnt enough for her to have won the election, It'd still be nice to know  

(Honestly though, the Trump supporters would still support him even if there was a leaked, deleted email from the Trump Campaign that set this whole thing up in the first place; so even if he was guilty  )

But Trump was saying that it might not be fair and square.  Yet Hillary said the mere suggestion an election in America could be "rigged" was "horrifying"  

I didn't understand her point in the debate. Was she saying to close one's mind to the possibility of an unfair election? Or what?

Trump accused the media, the Justice Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a “global power structure” of conspiring to rig the November election against him.

He said things like:

"Remember, we are competing in a rigged election. They even want to try and rig the election at the polling booths, where so many cities are corrupt and voter fraud is all too common."

"You have 1.8 million people who are dead, who are registered to vote, and some of them absolutely vote. Now, tell me how they do that"

"The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary - but also at many polling places - SAD"

"Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!"

His campaign, for months, used its website — “Help Me Stop Crooked Hillary From Rigging This Election!” — to recruit volunteers to be sent to churches, schools and other local polling places across the country in search of evidence of wrongdoing.

That's not saying "Hmm there is no evidence of this, but maybe there is a teeny chance of some voter manipulation! Both sides should be vigilant!" That's him straight out saying he was competing in a rigged election and that there was going to be widespread voter fraud used against him despite no evidence of this occurring.

I think Hillary, as well as Republican leaders, talked about how it was irresponsible and non factual to actually claim the election was rigged without any evidence.
