Picture this Thanksgiving: turkey, football (maybe), tenser-than-usual interactions with relatives. And perhaps a new tradition: finding out who actually won the presidential election.

And the last barriers between American democracy and a deep political crisis may be television news and some version of that maddening needle on The New York Times website. CONT.
