15. You must be joking:
"I think if the Repub party won fair and square, they'd relish a chance to pound in the point, right?"

Let's put it this way: you can say the same thing about the WA governor elections and the Democratic party - do you think Democrats in WA would relish a revote as a "chance to pound in the point"?

Come on - keep at least a tiny bit of objectivity.

As for paper ballots, hand counting - sure, I'm all for it. The problem and the difference between US and Germany is that in Germany the elections have maybe three-four races on one ballot. In Ohio, for example, voters in some precincts had more than 100 choices to make. How would you paper-count that?
