| Trump Floats Plan to ‘Delay the Election' Until Americans Can Safely Vote in Person | |
| 2020-07-30 | |
| President Trump on Thursday suggested delaying the 2020 election "until people can properly, securely and safely vote." In a series of tweets, the president attacked mail-in voting, saying it "is already proving to be a catastrophic disaster" and would cause "the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history." IMNSHO he floated this like catnip to start the discussion nationally. The MSM was downplaying it as a conspiracy theory. Now it's out in the open

| #2 It is not likely the Presidential election can be delayed due to Constitutional requirements. That leaves two options: (1) Traditional voting with controls put in place to limit the opportunities for cheating and (2) Mail-in voting. It seems that we are at an impasse. In Tennessee, my wife and I voted in early primary voting. The system that has been put in place since the last election seems two address the issues of Covid-19 as well as voter fraud. Moreover, the system was efficient and smooth in operation. It featured the following: 1. Poll workers were separated from the public by Plexiglas partitions. 2. Although, I don&;t know whether masks were required, everyone seemed to have them on. 3. Social distancing was maintained by marks on the floor. Workers were present to guide voters as needed. 4. Ballots were all paper to be completed in a booth by the voter. 5. Candidate choices were selected by shading-in with a pen a rectangular box next to the candidates name. 6. Voter I.D. was required such as a DL with a photo or a government supplied ID. 7. The completed ballot is fed into a reader at the end of the process and under the watchful eye of a poll worker. 8. I think your vote can be tracked through the entire voting process to make certain it is cast legally and to indicate your accurate choice. Both Covid-19 and voter fraud can be addressed without delaying the vote or using national mail-in voting. |

| #1 would cause "the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. Well, yes, that's the intent. They learned from Caracas. Given they have never accepted the 2016 election why do they expect the rest to accept a rigged one in 2020? /rhet question |
