The rules of democracy do not permit fraud, which is exactly how Republicans get elected. Bush did not win in Florida in 2000, the recount was stopped and the FL Supreme Court incorrectly declared Bush winner. Eventually we learned that Gore won FL by over 20K votes.
A President winning the Electoral College and losing the popular vote has only occurred 5 times. Two of them were Bush and Trump.

And, regardless of politics, anyone can see Jimmy Carter is a saint. He could be the first and last US President to be beatified and canonized... but let's hope it will be awhile before that occurs.
- ironmagma 4y agoI'm talking about recent presidents, especially the ones you claim came to power as result of a coup.

- tunesmith 4y agoOk, what study calculated over 20K votes? The various studies mentioned in wikipedia never go above 1,000 votes, no matter how they look at the ballots.
