Aisha,
  If this confusion about the outcome of the US presidential election had
happened anywhere else[Africa], people will be counting the number of
casualities by now. Far from being a perfect system, the fact that everyday
life in the US has not come to a halt while this whole mess is being
straightened out, is a testament of the highly evolved democratic society
that is the US. Amidst the alleged irregularities and confusion, the
transfer of power in the US remains as peaceful as ever. Hopefully Africans
are paying attention.
