GET THE FACTS—TRUMP TRIES TO DELEGITIMIZE VOTE-COUNTING: NowThis is tracking the latest 2020 news & forecasts. Trump and GOP officials say they may legally challenge votes not counted on Election Day, but no laws back up their claims. Here are the facts: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
1. Ballots are legally counted after Election Day in all 50 states
2. No state reports final results or certifies the winner on Election Day
3. In 29 states, military ballots can be received after Election Day, and in 18 states, ballots that arrive after Election Day are counted, per state law
4. Absentee & mail ballots take longer to count, with several processes done by hand; that doesn't mean late results are flawed or fraudulent
5. People voting by mail are disproportionately Democrats, so neither in-person ballots nor mail ballots reflect the full vote count

Pres. Trump has told confidants that he will baselessly declare 'victory' on election night if it looks like he's ahead in key states, Axios reports.
Even if more Americans vote for Biden, Trump may appear to have a lead on November 3 because the majority of his supporters plan to vote on Election Day, whereas nearly 70% of Biden voters are expected to have voted by mail.
Mail ballots take substantially longer to count, with several processes done by hand. In the battleground states of WI, MI, and PA, GOP legislatures have made it illegal to begin counting mail ballots early.

The Texas Supreme Court on Sunday rejected a Republican effort to throw out more than 126,000 votes that were legally cast via drive-thru lanes in Democratic-leaning Harris County.
A federal judge will hold an emergency hearing on Monday to weigh a similar complaint brought by the same Republicans.
In GOP-led Texas, counties are only allowed to have one ballot drop-off box; there is essentially no online voter registration; mail voting is restricted for people under 65; and you can vote in person by showing a gun permit but not a student ID.

A coalition of more than 130 different organizations are planning protests across the United States, in the event Pres. Trump tries to undermine the integrity of the election and claim victory before all ballots are counted. The events are listed at ProtectTheResults.com.
The coalition includes groups like Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, the Women’s March, Supermajority, Vote Save America, and the Sunrise Movement.
‘We can’t assume that Donald Trump will respect the peaceful transfer of power,’ said group founder Sean Eldridge, adding that if Trump tries to interfere any further, ‘then we would mobilize.’

BIDEN URGES VOTERS TO DROP OFF BALLOTS ASAP: Joe Biden is speaking at a drive-in rally in St. Paul, Minnesota. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Last night a federal appeals court stated that Minnesotans must return mail-in ballots by 8pm on Nov. 3rd to ensure they are counted, reversing the state’s original plan to keep counting absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day for an additional week.
Biden is expected to echo this last minute change and urge voters to vote early in-person or drop off their ballots at an official ballot drop box location ASAP.

The New Zealand government has issued a warning for its citizens in the U.S., just days before the 2020 presidential election.
The statement warned NZ citizens against several forms of political activity, including rallies and protests, between the November 3 election date and the presidential inauguration in January 2021.
The warning noted that the U.S. has seen mass protests across the nation in 2020, and in some cases, police response has included the use of rubber bullets and pepper spray.

Walmart has temporarily removed all guns and ammunition from the shelves of stores across the U.S. ahead of potential ‘civil unrest’ following the election.
The company says it's making the move out of an abundance of caution to curb the theft of firearms and related products due to ‘the current unrest in isolated areas of the country.’
At this time, customers will still be able to purchase these items upon request. The company has not decided how long the products will remain off the sales floor.
