Trump floats delaying election despite lack of authority to do so

Pre-election Voting

• In 2016, more than 41 percent of all ballots were cast before Election Day. Of the total turnout, approximately 17 percent of ballots were cast using in-person early voting and nearly 24 percent were cast using by-mail absentee voting.

thats 30 million votes.



Trump has no complaints.

 

So it's the leftist that make Fox News the most watched news channel.

 

Trump had no complaints in 2016, when 30 million votes were by mail.

hmmm....

 

Nobody is going to cancel or postpone the election.

Nevertheless, I have wished for a long time that Trump would learn to keep his mouth SHUT and not just say OUT LOUD every inconsequential thing that flits across his mind, for whatever reason....

You would think that he would have learned by now that ANYTHING and EVERYTHING he says, whether he really means it or not, will be used by those who hate his guts to try to tear him down ever more.

Actually, it would probably be to Biden's advantage if some set of circumstances did make it necessary to delay the election, but it should never, EVER be anything that can be construed as something that Trump wants....

 

That's not what we were agreeing on and you do realize he did not say that HE would delay the election or even question if HE could do it.

And stop trying to put specious words in my mouth. I am quite clear in what I post and I expect you to respond to what I actually say.

 

Pretty much. Havent watched cable TV in years.

 

so you're saying he lacks the authority to "float" the delay of the election... I don't think so. He has every authority to float whatever he wants, nobody is suggesting that what gets floated is law.

 

A little seriousness.

Everybody knows Trump wants to postpone the election because he knows he's going to lose it.

 

This open question with three question marks was meant to rile the left that is proposing a mail in election. His point is if you want a fake election maybe we should not habe one at all. Obviously he can't do any such thing but he can pull the leftist strings and make them dance so he does.

 

Not every case is a great case.....when you have massive groups of terrorist rioting it's hard to pin point who did what sometimes.

the important part is these 200 terrorist were taken off the streets that day to prevent further damage

I believe the article said only one was tied and the Defence won...with said there was nothing funny about the violence caught on video that day by the terrorsit attempting to over throw the election

 

Why would anyone want to hold an election during a pandemic?
Saving lives is the important thing.
Right?

 

Certainly that's a concern....look what Andrew Cuomo is doing in NY....he is supressing thousands of votes

Look at what Gore did in FL in 2000 when he attempted to keep thousands of write in votes out because they were likely going for Bush.

The Dems have a long history of suppressing votes in particular, as of lately write in votes.

 

He has every authority to float whatever he wants
You are not even remotely accurate.

 

The inability to keep one's id under control could definitely be considered a disqualifier for the highest office in the land. As far as Biden goes, why interrupt your opponent when he seems so determined to consistently and constantly shoot himself in the foot?

 

That's why we should do mail voting in states with big virus problems.

30 million people voted by mail in 2016 and Trump had no problem

 

Oregon and Colorado seem to have it figured out. Maybe Cuomo should talk to them...

Oregon:

Registered voters receive a ballot two to three weeks before an election, giving time to research issues or candidates.

Voters also receive an official ballot to complete and insert into the security envelope which is placed in the ballot return envelope and signed by the voter. The ballot return envelope can be stamped and mailed or dropped off at any official drop boxacross the state. If a voter casts their ballot after the Wednesday before an election, the ballot should be left at a drop box site to ensure it's counted.

Ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Colorado:

Q1. How do I receive my mail ballot?

A1. Every voter receives a mail ballot. The ballot will be sent to the mailing address you provided for your voter registration file. To check the address on file, or to make any changes to your voter registration visit www.GoVoteColorado.gov.

If you prefer to vote at the polls, you can vote in-person at a voter service and polling center. Please visit www.GoVoteColorado.gov to find your polling locations.

Q2. How do I know if my mail ballot has been mailed?

A2. To check the status of your mail ballot visit www.GoVoteColorado.gov. Then log in to your voter record, which will show whether your mail ballot has been mailed. If you have further questions about your mail ballot's status, contact your local county clerk and recorder's office.

Q3. Will my other votes be counted if I choose not to vote on a candidate or question?

A3. Yes. If you choose to leave a race or question blank, your other votes will still be counted.

Q4. Will my mail ballot be counted? I heard that mail ballots might not be counted.

A4. Every valid mail ballot is counted. Be sure to sign the envelope when you return your mail ballot. Your county clerk must receive your ballot no later than 7:00 PM on Election Day. If you are not sure if your ballot will arrive in time, drop it off in person. Contact your county clerk and recorder for drop-off and drop-box locations.

If you recently registered for the first time, you may need to provide a copy of your ID along with your mail ballot. Your county clerk will have provided instructions about the ID requirement along with your ballot.

Q5. If I am voting by mail, when must the county clerk and recorder receive my ballot?

A5. Mail ballots must be received by the county clerk and recorder no later than 7:00 PM on Election Day. Voters are encouraged to drop off ballots at designated drop off locations, drop-box locations, or mail their ballots in time to be received by the county clerk before the polls close. Postmarks do not count; ballots must be in the hands of the county clerk by 7:00 PM on Election Day in order to be counted.

Q6. What should I do if I do not receive my mail ballot or make a mistake, damage, or lose my mail ballot?

A6. You may request a replacement mail ballot from your county clerk. You may also vote in-person at a voter service and polling center.

 

yeah but where they counted? We may never know....we see what Cuomo is doing to voters in NY.....we just can't really know

 

Of all the American traditions and institutions that have been cancelled or postponed over his objections,
due to his failure to provide leadership for the nation in crisis, the one he is eager to abort is a democratic election.

Even Addison was quick to whack him on the nose with a rolled up U S Constitution.

McConnell dismissed Trump’s desperate ploy to weasel out of the American public's right to issue its verdict:

“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,
and we’ll find a way to do that again this Nov. 3!”​

 

of course they were counted.

thats how we know how many there were.

duhhh!!!!!!!!

 

It was a series of 200+ humiliating ass-whoopins for KKKeebler Elf's DOJ, no matter how you spin it. 200+ bullshit tacos, all lined up like a bovine feculence buffet...

 

Cool, let's cap it at 30 million.....

 

we know the number of ballots that were cast and not counted in NY too.....hmmmmm interesting how that works.

 

its the actual number.

but go ahead, go to conspiracy land.

 

well, lets see. according to the Federal govt, 24% of all votes were by mail.

thats actually 32,320,000 votes by mail

 

Holy Hannah! One of the co-founders of the effin' Federalist Society wants him booted - IMPEACHED - for suggesting it!

Please, Trumpistas - PLEASE - tell us how Steven Calabresi is just a RINO...

“I have voted Republican in every presidential election since 1980, including voting for Donald Trump in 2016,” he explained. “I wrote op-eds and a law review article protesting what I believe was an unconstitutional investigation by Robert Mueller. I also wrote an op-ed opposing President Trump’s impeachment.

“But I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election,” he continued. “Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist. But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate.”
