Trump Tweet --Delay the Election

Quote

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

Republicans openly challenge Trump's tweet on delaying election

Quote

...Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell similarly insisted that the election will go on as planned.

"Never in the history of the country, through wars, depressions and the Civil War, have we ever not had a federally-scheduled election on time. We'll find a way to do that again this November 3rd," the majority leader said in an interview with WNKY.

Swift backlash after Trump suggests delaying election

..."The President’s suggestion of delaying the election on the day we lay John Lewis to rest is the most despicable affront to his memory & legacy," Clyburn said. "Americans will rise up & continue John's fight for unfettered access to the ballot box. Our voices will not be silenced."

His protege, the governor of Florida here, is encouraging us to vote by mail. We're the epicenter of the world for Covid 19 and it makes perfect sense.

Trump's agenda against mail in votes was a bit baffling at first, but it's clear he's going to cast doubt on an election he's probably going to lose. It's important for him to discredit anything against his agenda of lies...the press, the courts, the CDC, science, the medical establishment, on and on, and now the voting system.

Is voting by mail 100% secure? No it isn't. But will 2020 be "2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history" doubtful.

We've had all vote-by-mail here in Oregon for some 20 years, and if there's been any major fraud committed I'm sure we'd have heard about it. This is a straw-man argument and it just doesn't wash.
