I have immense respect for Bruce and i certainly appreciate his point. However, I don't think that 2016 represented some great departure from the usual standards of American electoral integrity (or lack thereof). Nor do I think that any recount is going to make the American electoral system fair. As to the danger of their counting out Green candidates, the only way to prevent this is for the party to have a membership organization capable of mobilizing the numbers to stop it. Conversely, the experience of two decades (and of every other progressive insurgency in the history of this country) has demonstrated that without such a membership party, the ruling class won't need to do a lot of cheating to keep us from office.
