The
Times reports, "The F.B.I. has not seen evidence of a “coordinated national voter fraud effort,” its director, Christopher A. Wray, told lawmakers on Thursday, undercutting President Trump’s efforts to stoke fears about mail-in ballots by claiming without evidence that they are an election threat.
"Any fraud effort would have to be widespread and well coordinated to change the election outcome, and carrying out that kind of fraud would be a “major challenge for an adversary,” Mr. Wray said."
National elections are conducted by hundreds of counties throughout the U.S.,
each having their own ballots and their own voting procedures.
Sadly, in the era of Trump, the Senate felt compelled to okay a resolution on the peaceful transition of power. According to
The Hill, "The Senate passed a resolution on Thursday reaffirming its support for a peaceful transition of power, one day after
President Trump refused to commit to such a transition next year if he loses in the November election.
"The resolution, offered by Democratic Sen.
Joe Manchin (W.Va.), passed by unanimous consent, meaning no senator objected to it."
In addition to relying on fantasies and rhetoric, Trump has another major problem borne by his lack of intellectual acuity. His extreme narcissism requires that he be the center of attention at all times even if it means making a complete fool of himself.
Trump refuses to commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose the election, and he bases this incredulous and singularly unpopular position on a fantasy called voter fraud that his own commission could not find (see post 622).
Trump is the least popular President in modern American history. Trump's supporters largely avoid Trump. If they say anything at all, they focus on the writer, not the issues, and certainly not Trump.
Put a different way, Trump lacks the power and the mandate to refuse to accept the results of the election should he be defeated, an extremely likely possibility.
In other words, the stand alone President is simply making a fool of himself.
Vote early!
