Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

To be honest I dont agree with that.Only mail that arrives before the close of voting booths should count

Why? If the vote has been cast (ie is out of the voter's hands) before the deadline, what's the problem?

This could me very simply solved if they just didn't announce any results in a state until all votes were in and all counting was complete.

You want to blame the postal service for late votes? Just look at the postmark. If it was posted in time, it counts.

Why? In a lot of cases it isn't arriving solely because of the postal service being slow and that is largely intentional voter suppression.

Its a poor do then that the richest country in the world cant run an election any better than a third world banana republic

I agree but it is important to remember this is on purpose.

Not that I'm aware of

Maybe the deadline for receiving postal votes should be 2 weeks before the election day

Jay mate, Trump wants to halt counting votes where he's winning, keep counting votes where he's losing, and recount states where he has already lost significantly. Allied to the 300,000 voters whose votes were stolen in Georgia I'm sure I don't need to paint a picture for you here

There is a huge difference between targeted voter suppression (inextricably linked to minority voters within swing states) and simply counting votes that were cast on time but sent in by mail (where it would be inherently undemocratic by definition to render them null and void). It merely smacks of desperation to muddy the waters in a democratic process which is completely transparent at local, county and state level.

When exactly do you wish for these millions of votes to be counted seeing as it was made illegal for mail-in votes to be counted before the election?

 

[Death]

If Trump holds the states he has and swings Nevada would that not put him at 270?

Made me laugh on the Wisconsin hashtag.
Kopites always get involved.

Exactly this is mostly on Trump. I think he has if not directly has influenced suppression or halting as you say. It brings the whole thing to disrepute. Then ye have The rights claims of fake and you don’t have to believe it I don’t but it’s all very muddied the water.

Wash it clean.
