I guess the distinction between Stevo and Paq in these last few posts is just this: is it, on balance, better for the health of our democracy to have undergone the drawn-out process of recount and contestation, or is the institution of the election better off if it faces no contest?
I don't think the answer is really self-evident and I think a coherent argument could be made on either side. That might actually be a discussion worth having.
Is the process of testing and challenging the collective national belief in our electoral system valuable despite the damage it might do to the strength of that belief by laying it open for re-examination?
