Trump floats delaying election despite lack of authority to do so

Trump would do himself a favor by understanding the facts about voter fraud associated with mail in voting...

Voting by mail is not new in the United States — nearly 1 in 4 voters cast 2016 presidential ballots that way.

As with other forms of voting, documented cases of mail-ballot fraud are extremely rare.

The conservative Heritage Foundation, which has warned of the risks of mail voting, found 14 cases of attempted mail fraud out of roughly 15.5 million ballots cast in Oregon since that state started conducting elections by mail in 1998.

The most prominent cases of mail fraud have involved campaigns, not voters. North Carolina invalidated the results of a 2018 congressional election after state officials found that a Republican campaign operative had orchestrated a ballot fraud scheme.

Maybe we should look at the most recent results shall we...NY's primary disaster due to mail in voting....

I mean even the most lefty state pushing this can't do it properly but I'm certain it'll work in a General Election. Please.

 

Yet the same media praised the female prime minister of New Zealand when she did so.

Double standards.

I think Trump only floated this idea to make himself immune from later criticism that he didn't offer to do it.

 

New Zealand gives the Prime Minister can delay the election by law.

She delayed it 4 weeks with the cooperation with every other group.

And if she unilaterally delayed the electiln, and the other ministers don't like it, they can have her booted out of the job immediately in a fairly simple vote!

Its a much more rational system, in many ways.

For Trump to unilaterally delay the election, he is breaking the law.

There is NO "double standard".
