Answer:

If there is contestation in an election, the state government must investigate the irregularities and recount the votes.

Democracy in the USA will survive because the constitution has guidelines for solving problems that may arise.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not unusual for the result of an election to promote contestatations. These contestations are without prejudice to politics or the maintenance of democracy in the country, as the constitution has guidelines that guide the government to deal with them. Whenever a contestation occurs, it is common for the government to assess whether there were any irregularities within the electoral process, if there were any irregularities, the government organizes a recount of votes, either from the popular vote, or from the electoral college vote.
