This would be an authoritarian power grab and overthrow of our electoral process.
Trump is literally trying to steal the election.
This horrifying piece confirms my theory that Trump attacked mail in voting to get his base to vote in person so he could declare victory the night of the election & claim the delayed, mostly Dem tallies are fraudulent. But it may have backfired and Dems are now voting in person.
The early in person voting lines is why I think Trump’s mail-in voting lies and attacks on the USPS backfired.
If Trump loses the in-person tally, than this whole elector rigging strategy falls apart.
He’s counting on Democrats to vote mail-in so there’s a delay in those tallies & he can falsely cry fraud. If there’s no delay, he can’t do that.
It’s clear now we have to vote in person.
This is why Trump’s voter intimidation squads will be a big problem this year:
“The 2020 presidential election will be the first in 40 years to take place without a federal judge requiring the RNC to seek approval in advance for any ‘ballot security’ operations at the polls.”
