Trump: ‘Delay the Election Until People Can Properly, Securely and Safely Vote?’

President Donald Trump posed a question on Thursday that many of his critics have been warning about: delaying the election. Trump took to Twitter to attack vote-by-mail, making inaccurate statements about mass voter fraud and finally suggesting the November election should be postponed.

“Mail-In Voting is already proving to be a catastrophic disaster,” Trump wrote. “Even testing areas are way off. The Dems talk of foreign influence in voting, but they know that Mail-In Voting is an easy way for foreign countries to enter the race. Even beyond that, there’s no accurate count!”

“With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history,” the President said.

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???

“It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???”

It isn’t possible to simply delay the election without changing the law, which would require the Democrat-controlled House to approve – a very unlikely scenario. However, Trump has attacked mail-in ballot many times. Today’s tweets seem to be an escalation.

There’s also very little evidence that mass voter fraud takes place in the U.S., let alone that mail-in ballots are rife for manipulation.
