Depends how close it is. If we get a situation like Florida in 2000 where the vote result is closer than the margin of error then there's a fair chance it'll get ugly. Hopefully whichever side...

Beats me! I was simply tossing out a hypothesis that may account for some other nations. Wasn't trying to be all-inclusive. It's a big world, there'll be a lot of factors in play. Japan probably...
