Of course, while I might be a Democrat, I always thought the "Bush stole the election" claim was . . . irrational? . . . at best.

Well, there's a certain amount of that for me although I can understand being frustrated with the whole Florida mess, particularly if you were a Gore fan. It wasn't an especially desirable way to resolve a US election, and it was going to seem sketchy no matter how the vote was resolved, sort of like the Coleman-Franken recount seemed to GOPers last fall.
But more than anything in regard to Senusret's OP, it's the failure to appreciate the differences in the whole process in both countries that kind of makes me dismissive of anyone who could seriously make that kind of claim.
