I feel a little squirmy when I hear an American politician say he might not accept the results of the election if he loses.

To hear the President on the same weekend we saw unlabeled federal law enforcement agents feels a little like waking up in Venezuela.

First of all, I don鈥檛 know why journalists even ask a question like 鈥渨ould you accept the results if you lose?鈥� It makes it sound like there鈥檚 an option, and it鈥檚 too vague. We need to know what it聽means not to accept the outcome.

If it means pushing for a recount in a close race 鈥� no problem.

If it means storming off and writing a terrifying op-ed 鈥� fine.

But if it means raising an army and storming the Capitol, I realize it , but I鈥檇 have a problem with that.

We need to ask a more specific question: “Sir, will you trust the states to count the votes accurately, and if you lose in the electoral college, will you go away quietly?”

That鈥檚 what we want to know. I don鈥檛 want Trump declaring a rigged election and refusing to leave, nor do I want Biden claiming Russian interference and filling the streets with protesters.

I would just ask that the candidates tell us what the ground rules are going into this election. I鈥檓 not going to judge them for wanting to win; I just want a feel for how many sacks of rice to stock in the post-election bunker.
