If the election is at all close, Trump is going to claim victory...

...this is the real importance of the tightening polls. Unless Clinton wins in a landslide, Trump and the GOP will claim the election was stolen and not accept her legitimacy. This isn't 2000; we're not dealing with honorable people, we're not dealing with Al Gore. There is a good chance that November will bring the biggest constitutional crisis since 1860.
