But WHAT IF?
What if it were to turn out Hillary won both the electoral and popular vote?
God, what a fucking nightmare for everyone. But would it be worse than a Trump Presidency?
However, a long delay in the official count isn't unprecedented.

There have long been reasonable complaints about a city, district, state, etc. being called for a candidate when only a small fraction of votes have been counted. Maybe a new system where the vote tally won't be announced until literally all the votes have been counted should be implemented. People are way too impatient, but getting it right seems more important than instant gratification/disappointment. So maybe give counters a week to get it done.
I personally don't know what the best answer here is. It's certainly a lot easier to let it go and hope that a better candidate can bring out more voters next time. OTOH, an unqualified fuckpig is going to be POTUS.
