2016 Election Nightmare

2016 Election Nightmare is the "worst-case scenario" that could have happened in the United States Presidential Election of 2016. This timeline will be a Live History - it will be told from the perspective of daily news articles and blurbs, with no nation, biographical, or conflict articles added. The ultimate goal of this timeline is to somehow reach the collapse of the United States, or to at least cause as much chaos as possible; right now I only have a rough outline, and I wouldn't be surprised if this eventually becomes ASB. Anyway, let's get started.

December, 2016
December 4: Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders Urge Their Supporters To Continue The Fight (FWN), NEW YORK: Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, both running as independents and anti-establishment figures, urged their supporters to "continue the fight" and not "give in to establishment violence". Both candidates have raised complaints of system violence against their supporters, with Trump going so far as to blame Clinton for funding "Foundation goons" to lead assaults on Trump supporters. 6 Trump supporters were killed last week in a riot in Philadelphia. Trump and Bernie came 3rd and 4th, respectively, in the popular vote and electoral vote.

December 4: Hillary Clinton Calls For Peace (CNN), NEW YORK: Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton has followed up Obama's call for unity with her own call for peace. Clinton won the popular vote and came second in the electoral college by a very slim margin, but public opinion has turned against her following rumors of rigged voting machines and an assault by a drunken Hillary on a campaign manager on election night when she failed to claim enough delegates for victory.

December 4: President Obama Urges National Unity (Free World News), WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama has released a statement urging for national unity in the wake of violence and unrest following the inconclusive election on November 8. With the electoral vote split between 9 candidates, one of which has already died, there is tension all across the United States. The electors will meet on December 19th to select a president; with no candidate having a majority, it is unclear who will be elected as president.
