President eject, vote count, voting irregularities

President Eject – a sitting president who refuses to concede after he has lost at the polls in a presidential election

Count – a prime example of an English word that exhibits the grammatical properties of different parts of speech: it is a noun when used in the phrase ‘Stop the (illegal vote) count’ and a verb when used in the phrase ‘Count the (legal) votes’, as any US president would tell you.

 

Voting irregularities – an expression that doesn’t lack synonyms: electoral fraud, election fraud, election manipulation, vote rigging, election irregularities, voter fraud, voter suppression. But what is its antonym? Voting regularities?
