Re: Trump wants to delay the presidential election!

What evidence is there of fraud?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53353404

President Trump has said: "You get thousands and thousands of people sitting in somebody's living room, signing ballots all over the place."

But there is no evidence of widespread fraud, according to numerous nationwide and state-level studies over the years.

There have been isolated cases of postal ballot fraud in the past, such as in the 2018 North Carolina primary, which was re-run after a consultant of the Republican candidate tampered with voting papers.

There was also a case earlier this year in New Jersey which saw two Democratic councillors charged with alleged fraud in relation to postal voting, after hundreds of ballots were found stuffed in a post box.

But these are rare incidents, and the rate of voting fraud overall in the US is between 0.00004% and 0.0009%, according to a 2017 study by the Brennan Center for Justice.

A voter fraud database collated by Arizona State University between 2000 and 2012, found 491 cases of postal ballot fraud out of hundreds of millions of votes.

And a Washington Post review of the 2016 election found one proven case of postal voting fraud.

Oregon has held postal elections since 2000 and has only reported 14 fraudulent votes attempted by mail.
There are provisions in place to prevent people from impersonating voters or stealing ballots - such as authorities checking that ballots have come from voters' registered address and requiring signatures on envelopes.

There have been suggestions that an increase in postal voting would help turnout among Democratic voters, but there is no strong evidence that either party would gain an advantage.
So much for Trump's claim ..... he's just running scared .....

In which case he should hold the election at the earliest opportunity so that he can be re-elected by all those who agree with you.

What?

What I’ve discovered are the people who actually like the president have similar characteristics as the president so can relate to him whereas the majority of us think WTF!

Re: Trump wants to delay the presidential election!

It beats me how anyone could vote for Trump who appears to be mentally ill.

Whatever Trump is, he is a danger to his country and this planet.

Re: Trump wants to delay the presidential election!

We've just learned to ignore him and hope that some of the things he has done are worthwhile - and some of them are.

We do seem to have to remind him of a little document called the Constitution from time-to-time.

In all seriousness, it is endlessly frustrating that we can't find a sound candidate who is a solid citizen, knowledgeable about the law (without being an attorney), not failing cognitively, and presidential enough so as not to be a laughing stock.

Where are the statesmen?
