LEGITIMATE Elections have consequences ...how long do we wait (to hit the streets)?

...and illegitimate , hacked, stolen elections SHOULD have consequences. No amount of votes would have made a damn bit of difference, in my opinion, when they can simply choose the numbers. Especially now that exit polling is a thing of the past, it used to be a usefull tool and was considered fairly accurate (before Bush), it's out the window now.

"We just need more votes to overcome the fraud" won't cut it.

If someone regularly keeps stealing your wallet and your response is "I just need to make more money to overcome the theft", there's something wrong with you.
The right response is to keep someone from stealing your wallet in the first place.

Talking about fraud without investigating and prosecuting only serves to kill motivation and turnout.
