"If one side wins the election, they can't disregard the outcome. When Al Gore lost in 2000 he did not break away from the United States and begin threatening Bush's life."

No, Gore did the modern equivilent, by suing in the Florida Supreme Court, unlike Nixon in 1960, when he had a better case about Illinois. Nixon took the high road for the better of the country, and accepted the questionable results. To this day many democrats are convinced Gore won; he did not. Stan
