I am getting sick of this bullshit. People have to be living under a rock not to realize that this entire thing is a ruse to steal the election. If I can go to the grocery store to buy food why can't I go to my assigned polling station to cast my ballot? I am getting really sick of these blatant fallacies of logic that we are all expected to blindly go along with. Its just like saying that somehow its ok to ID people buying alcohol, or smokes or boarding an airplane but its unconstitutional to require voter id.
I don't like this crap that you have to sign your mail in ballot. Voter ID is fine but it is completely unconstitutional to record a persons name as well as who they voted for. Why are republicans silent on this? At best this is blatant voter intimidation at worst you are being put on a secret list.
Do your social distancing or mask policy or what ever bullshit you need for that 1 day but the election must take place without interference.

he can't. it's another one of these "states rights" things so it has to be handled at the state level. frankly general elections for President should be federally controlled. there should be a one size fits all method for electing the President in all states. No "voting machines in Florida" but "paper ballots in Idaho" and "put a marble in the jar in Iowa". Everyone uses the same method. No mail, no way to "cheat". Letting states have their own methods muddies the water which is why we have this legal battle every damn election
Couldn't he just order the post offices to close and/or not carry ballots?
THIS!!!!!
To be clear, I'm not saying this is something Trump can do or that it would work. I was more asking if this is a possible solution.
I think he was toying with the idea and it triggered Gavin Newsome
Spicy
This should be the move. Cut their bullshit plans off at the knee.
Great balls of fire, Batman! This is the way!
This should apply to all federal elections. President, Senate, House.
I wouldn't mind just skipping the communism step and starting over from scratch.
DC clearance sale: everything but the constitution and bill of rights must go, go, go!
Voting is controlled by the states there isn't much he can do.
it's one of the laundry list of things that's wrong with the "states rights" approach. for some things, it's good, for others it's really bad. double edged sword
He should release the UFO and JFK files if he loses.
He can't. States decide the policy and procedures at the state level. We live in a Federal nation-state. I a Federated system, the National Government is made up of individual governments i.e. states, that contribute to the Federal government but are not "ruled" by the Federal government. States get to decide their own laws independently. In fact, one of the reasons why we're so polarized and why the fabric of our nation is being torn is because Democrats think that everyone should have believe, say and act and live under the same types of laws, policies and regulations that deeply blue Democratic cities live under. The problem is places like New York and Los Angeles want to force places like Springfield population 20,000 to live, think and act exactly like the ruling class in New York and Los Angeles. In a Federated system, it's designed so that each city and each state can decided for themselves but lefties don't understand borders and boundaries.
I can't even get a photo from the President in the mail saying, "Do not bend" without it being folded and heavily creased and you think I'm gonna trust the USPS with my vote? FUCK THAT!
If you can't stop fraud, the next best option is to overwhelm the system with fraud. Turn this thing into such a shitshow that it takes months to resolve, and possibly requires a new election in those states.
This IS the play. They want to dragon this count out as long as possible to legitimize their power grab. They have no intention of letting Biden see the inside of the whitehouse again, it's all about stalling till jan 21st without a clear winner so Pelosi can take power.
i think so too...
But it's not at all clear that Pelosi would take power. That's not defined in the constitution, this entire scenario is not covered. Keep in mind, If there wasn't a legitimate election, Pelosi herself would no longer be an elected official, as of January 20th. Her term ends the same day Trumps does.
If that scenario happens, it will likely come down to a pure power play, and that strongly favors the sitting president.
Pretty sure it's in the constitution.
in this case you have drunk Nancy as acting president, no good
That's one interpretation, but by no means the only one. Since the constitution doesn't specify what would happen in that scenario, it would probably come down to a raw exercise of power, which Trump would have 3 months to prepare for.
Would be a mess, in any case.
All it would take is Russia or China to fly in a dozen 'tourists'. Have them hangout until November and then mail in millions of fake envelopes or envelopes with baby power in them in the swing states.
No one here should do it, you'll go to prison for sure.
With valid state/REAL ID or Passport.
I normally don't upvote these 'number of people' posts, but this is one I can completely get behind.
I would love to see an EO giving free helicopter rides to commies too. But that's just mask debating.
