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???
Now consider what I wrote back on March 12th of this year in response to an article in Foreign Policy written by Laurie Garrett in which she called for the cancellation of the presidential campaign due to COVID-19:
Garrett is clear in arguing that she is calling for a suspension of campaigning rather than the election itself. But those lines can easily be blurred especially by someone as demagogic as Donald Trump. Although Trump's rallies are proceeding apace, it is not inconceivable that he would float the idea of postponing the presidential election under the guise of a public health measure or national security. Mind you I only see him doing such a thing if Joe Biden is leading him in the polls by double digits and his own internal polling tells him that he is underwater.
I suppose voter fraud falls under the broad rubric of national security, but I probably should have cited it more explicitly given Trump's propensity for claiming elections are rigged. But the key here is the last sentence and this is the crux of the matter. Donald Trump is doing this because he knows he's going to lose to Joe Biden and lose badly.
Of course, Trump has no constitutional authority to do any such thing. But how long will it be before Trump and/or his Republican allies call for the U.S. Constitution to be suspended so he can rule by decree and remain in office indefinitely?
Sometimes I get things right. But that doesn't mean I take joy in it.
