A Plea.

[pmb]

Despite my disappointment at the outcome of this election, what is most important to me is that the people have at least nominally spoken. The election has been held, and we support the system, even if we do not support the winner. At all.

To that end, if faith in the system is lost, then all is lost. Because you can't fix anything within a broken system. So please, please, PLEASE, someone tell me where the fault in this graph lies. Because I desperately want to believe that he actually won. The alternative is too awful.

As I understand it, exit polling is extremely flawed and innacurrate. It's really only good for the media who need feedback to prepare headlines and pump us full of hope and or despair depending onthe situation. Having said that, I think there is increasing evidence that the system is being gamed by each side to take minute advantages of the errors and loopholes of the election process.

As an aside, if you were going to rig an election, it's a more plausible lie (and more difficult to challenge) if you excell inside the margin of error, rather than by a landslide.
