LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT

 Here is the USA we consider ourselves part of the "Free World" if not the bastion of such.   We think of  "free" people as those afforded the opportunity to "freely" elect their leaders.   We define "Free World" as that part of the world where democracy reigns.  Along with democracy, we include capitalism rather than communistic economic systems.

Okay, let's get back to the part where we "freely" elect our leaders.  In this case, "freely" must include legally; meaning, done by law.   It follows that we must have free and legal elections; that is the democratic way.   To question if an election was done freely and legally, is the democratic thing to do.  It is not wrong to pose this question.  I repeat, it is not wrong to pose this question; it is the democratic thing to do.  

Once the question has been posed, it must be answered or the electorate will suspect the worst.  It must be done quickly.  

Expect that some will not accept the answer even though it is sufficient for most.  We cannot allow those so bullheaded to keep us from moving forward.  

The legality of elections is sacred to a democracy - plain and simple laws and rules must be established.  They must be enforceable and openly enforced.  

Let's not decry anyone who questions an election's legality.  Let's not suffer any questioner who persists beyond reasonable limits.
