Into overtime

Let's just check in to see how the presidential elections are going in the nation that styles itself as the greatest democracy on Earth, and the most enthusiastic and vocal exporter of democracy around the world.

Ah.

Call me a pedantic old fusspot, but I'd have thought it was important to count all of the votes, not just the ones expressing a preference for your side. I'd also have thought that openly challenging the integrity of the whole system by baselessly declaring fraud and hinting at Supreme Court action might be enough to convince more people that the present incumbent is a dangerous authoritarian.

It's going to be a long and torturous few weeks ahead, by the looks of it.
