Of course not. You can wait a few years and try again. You can try to
convince the Supreme Court(s) that the vote was unconstitutional etc. etc.

The issue concerns neither opinions nor behavior. Democracy is a game
we agree to play because it is in our mutual interest. If you don't like losing
and you can't accept the rules when they work against you, then those of us who
accept the constraints will do our best to expose you as a cheat.
