The sad thing is that the vote is now secondary in this country. Whoever wins the election, whether that result would be objectively valid or not, the election will be considered (subjectively) invalid by roughly half the electorate. Both sides consider "the other" illegitimate. More important than the vote, then, will be sites such as this where the consensus will be more evident. But of course these sites are now heavily influenced by activists for both sides as well. Unfortunately, because the media has segregated itself into each of the political camps, there is no readily trusted "neutral" source. The left sources will shill for the left, and the right sources for the right. At least this site appears a little less crazy biased than Reddit, for example? Crazy times ahead.
