    Do you know how long it takes a computer to do a database comparison?

    Hint: The answer for a full batch run of 1,000,000+ records is in minutes, and the batch run is done at least weekly. Unclench those pearls and embrace the 21st century.

    show us exactly in the law where it gives the president the power to extend his own term.

    You said CONGRESS gave him the authority. Why are you citing an executive order instead of a law passed by Congress?

    Some of them didn't review the talking points memo on how to spin this. Doesn't he have a spin team monitoring his twitter feed 24/7?

    I think it is related to which branch is in charge in case of a catastrophe. Where does it mention he can put off an election and stay in power when he chooses?

    oh so they rioted, looted, firebombed buildings etc just because the day after he was elected and when he was sworn in? I guess that's possible....but unlikely

    It doesn't. It's just a continuity of government plan. Every administration has one.

    not very long...I would guess...but you got 100s of thousands of people.....then the DMV who runs that, has to get the info to the Election Board in each city or county....then the ballots have to out,...and Govt never really works that fast....and on top of that now we got the Chinese Virus with offices working half staff....so again...we got three months til the day of election...we need to get these ballots out soon because they need to be postmark by a certain date....and counted.

    Funny how the KKKeebler Elf's DOJ couldn't seem to convict anyone for that...

    the Feds are famous for their convictions and plea deals.

    and yet they got not one conviction here?

    sounds like a joke :)

    Please provide examples of when/where any of your concerns have actually happened. Go ahead - I'll wait...

    well we haven't done the Dem plan yet of expanding mail in ballots yet....out of concerns like that and well many others.....so yeah they havent come up yet.

    but if you want that...you need to address those concerns.

    I am doing my research on it too, but it seems like it is arguable that because of COVID19, POTUS could declare a disaster or catastrophe and take control of the entire govt. I don't know all the details, just that it is apparently a real thing that has been debated in the past.

    So, you can't cite a single example. Which means there is no problem. The registration process doesn't change, so, no need to fix what ain't broken. Ballots only get mailed to registered voters at their registered addresses, and are individually bar-coded to prevent fraud. There are multiple states that do this already with zero issues. Something tells me your true objection lies outside the reasons you're stating.
