That's what Trump has been trying to tell us. And, in 2016 we had over 300,000 disqualified mail in ballots. If this year three times as many voters vote by mail, we could have over one million disqualified votes.
Unless it's some complete blow out, which is unlikely, regardless of who wins, this will probably end up in the courts.
Then you did a poor job of stating that. That's not what was implied in your post.
Amazing all this talk of the democrats cheating but there is no precedent for that. Furthermore if anyone is fomenting talk about not accepting the election results it's our dear president. He did it last time too, until he won.
Republicans will first need a majority. That ain't going to happen.
No, that's not what Trump has been trying to tell us. I was talking about how long it would take to learn who won. He's afraid of fraud. Those 300,000 disqualified ballots should reassure him, though. It means they are very cautious about those mail in ballots.
Trump has said it would take forever to find out who won. You agree with him. I said in 2016 there were over 300,000 disqualified ballots. If we have three times as many voters vote by mail in 2020 that translates into over one million disqualified ballots. Don't you want their votes to count?
Signatures have to match and they need to fill out the ballot correctly so the clerk is certain who they're voting for. I imagine there are other safeguards, as well. It would be great if everyone could follow directions, but no, I'm not upset if hinky ballots aren't counted. It is to make sure no one is pulling a fast one.
There are many people who are unable to physically go to their polling place, and they still should have the right to vote. This mail-in concern is just more Trump bull**** to excuse him losing. He's too big a narcissist to sit back quietly while the polls have consistently shown that he is not the most popular President ever.
If he loses by less than a tsunami, Trump will contest.
The RNC has employed ~600 lawyers across the country already anticipating this scenario.
Ummmmmmmmmmm, you've got that bass ackwards.
Biden assembles legal team ahead of divisive 2020 election
"You're joking, right?"
There is NO way in H*ll that the Dems will accept a Trump victory.
For the last four years, the Dems have been throwing everything at the wall in the hope that something will stick. (The latest is that he assaulted a lady in 1997.)
They simply would go bananas if they were to lose this election.
They will NOT accept the results if Trump wins. They will blame the vote-by-mail system (that they advocated).
I am terrified of what may happen on November 3 (besides the looting).
To be fair though, if Trump loses, there will be a small segment of the country who will also go bananas.
"small segment"
lol
Trump has already outlined what he plans to do. It's entirely possibly he will come out on top at first on Election Day, since Trump voters are more likely to vote in person than Biden voters, who are more likely to vote by mail. Trump will declare himself the winner and insist Biden concedes, who will reply in turn to say to wait for the mail in ballots to be counted.
As the ballots are counted and Trump's lead diminishes, Trump will start tweeting a hellstorm and start dropping accusations of voter fraud, retweeting faked images and videos allegedly showing Democratic votes being counted wrongly. He'll whip his voter base into a frenzy, who will try to stop election comittees from counting absentee ballots. This will be especially likely in places like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
I am debating being a poll watcher. I live in a red state. It’s going to go for Trump. I have never done it before, and I am concerned about COVID because if my health issues. I can’t decideRepublican poll watchers will contest every single absentee ballot in every swing state (that's not melodrama -- that's really a thing), and it will eventually go to the courts in nearly every instance.
The only way a much larger fight is avoided is if Florida comes in for Biden on election night. The months of November and December are going to suuuuuuck.
That said, I voted 67% because it's the poll option that's closest to 60%, the likelihood Nate Silver gives for Florida going to Biden.

Ummmmmmmmmmm, NO. The study was not done by the National Review.Oh boy the National Review. That sure is the bastion of journalistic credentials.
Anywho, Trump has already outlined how he intends to contest the election. Only an unlikely Biden landslide would stop it.
Ummmmmmmmmmm, NO. The study was not done by the National Review.
Ummmmmmmmm, the study is the study. So, you do agree with the study that if the other party wins the election, there is a bigger chance of violence from the left than from the right?The study wasn't what I was contesting but okay.
