Only Congress can change the date of the presidential election. That's written into the US Constitution ... y'know, that document that Covid Donnie and his pack of sycophants in the Department of Injustice and the Department of Non-Defense all took oaths to support. A presidential election has never been postponed, not in 1952 during the Korean War, not in 1944 during World War II, and not in 1864 during the Civil War when Abraham Lincoln fully expected to lose until Union victories in Atlanta in September and at Cedar Creek in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia in October changed his prospects. BTW, the 1864 election was the first presidential election in which significant numbers of voters used absentee ballots -- tens of thousands of Union soldiers stationed away from their homes voted overwhelmingly for Lincoln. But a virus from which 99% infected people recover demands we change the way we vote in ways we never did in those wars -- and move to a less secure mail in method Got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes people are idiots but I've been on this board long enough and often enough to know most of the posters very well. I don't think there is ANYONE that is that enamored with Trump. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are against Trump's proposal to delay the election until he looks better? You presume his motive as usual. Aside from that, I wholeheartedly disagree with the notion of postponing the election. I also wholeheartedly disagree with mail in voting which has never been done on such a scale, and there's been no time to put a plan in place. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a colossal mess. Both sides will see to that. It will be story after story after story of how either D's or R's are cheating the system or suppressing the vote. Most of it will be bullcrap, but some of it won't. It doesn't matter because perception = reality these days. We won't have election results until mid December at the earliest, and the country will live through a nightmare for at least that period of time, probably longer.

BillStime Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Today quarterly reporting showed the economy had its worst quarter in history (ever). To create a distraction, 45 suggests delaying the election. Don’t fall for it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) Everyone here should be upset at Trump floating the idea of delaying the election, which is set in the statutes as "the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November." And this is a very bad indicator of what's to come in the next couple months. You're a hypocrite if you're in this forum constantly touting the Constitution and what it is to be American, you damn well should be feeling uneasy at this insane proposal by our President.

This is simply untrue because there is no "universal mail in voting". The states determine how they run their elections within the limits set by the US Constitution and federal law (mainly the Voting Rights Act of 1965). Some states have early voting, some don't. Some states limit the voting rights of convicted felons while others do not. Most states have had various forms -- some more limited than others -- of mail in voting (including absentee ballots) since the Civil War.
