At this point in US politics, only a complete moron could beLIEve that anything about the POTUS "election" process is honest.

have you not been paying attention, The polls were rigged and it was well documented, A certain well known "news channel" left out certain demographics results and massaged the figures to make it look like Hillary was leading the polls, It was even posted to this site, but hey, you wouldn't be interested in that because it doesn't fit your opinion.
So tell me, Why is having election observers such a bad idea?
I shall await your answer, Im sure it will be absolutely riveting.....

Just like Benghazi. Just like the email issue. The Right Wing is creating a conspiracy before the "conclusion" in order to justify their "loss". They are claiming the system is rigged and Hillary will corrupt the system, but the thought never crosses their mind that they just might be wrong, or lack the support.
Let's also not forget that no corruption has been found. No fraud whatsoever.
This is called finding a solution for a problem that doesn't exist preparing your self to play the victim.
This surety is called the confirmation bias, whereby we seek and find confirmatory evidence in support of already existing beliefs and ignore or reinterpret disconfirmatory evidence. Now a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study shows where in the brain the confirmation bias arises and how it is unconscious and driven by emotions. Psychologist Drew Westen led the study, conducted at Emory University, and the team presented the results at the 2006 annual conference of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology.
During the run-up to the 2004 presidential election, while undergoing an fMRI bran scan, 30 men--half self-described as "strong" Republicans and half as "strong" Democrats--were tasked with assessing statements by both George W. Bush and John Kerry in which the candidates clearly contradicted themselves. Not surprisingly, in their assessments Republican subjects were as critical of Kerry as Democratic subjects were of Bush, yet both let their own candidate off the hook.
The neuroimaging results, however, revealed that the part of the brain most associated with reasoning--the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex--was quiescent. Most active were the orbital frontal cortex, which is involved in the processing of emotions; the anterior cingulate, which is associated with conflict resolution; the posterior cingulate, which is concerned with making judgments about moral accountability; and--once subjects had arrived at a conclusion that made them emotionally comfortable--the ventral striatum, which is related to reward and pleasure. www.scientificamerican.com...

The Dems would NEVER cheat on an election.
Everything about the Media + 2 Party System and their Electioneering Politicks is the self-evident proof that the whole game is rigged.
But anybody that 'worships' either party is effectively cognitively incapable of seeing such blatantly obvious truths.
So there it is: proof that people sucked into these kinds of group identities are hooked on self-deception like drug addicts on drugs. Have a nice day!
