Will The U.S. Election Be Delayed?



Daily Mail: Donald Trump suggests DELAYING the US election over claims of mail votes fraud - minutes after devastating figures show economy shrank by a third

* President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested delaying the November election until 'people can properly, securely and safely vote'
* His pronouncement came after news U.S. economy had its worst quarter ever
* U.S. economy shrank by 33% in April-June quarter
* '2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???,' Trump tweeted
* Trump does not have power to delay election, that takes an act of Congress

President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested delaying the November election until 'people can properly, securely and safely vote.'

But Trump does not have the power to delay the election. That would take an act of Congress, which is highly unlikely to happen.

Trump's pronouncement, however, came right after news the U.S. economy shrank by 33 per cent in the April-June quarter.

That number marks the worst quarterly plunge ever and comes as the coronavirus pandemic has shut down businesses, thrown tens of millions out of work and sent unemployment to 14.7 per cent. Trump has banked his re-election chances on a strong U.S. economy. Voters give him high marks on his economic policy but have dinged him for his handling of the coronavirus and race relations.

WNU Editor: The media is saying that President Trump wants to delay the election. But if anyone bothers to read his tweet (see above), he is not saying that. He is raising awareness to the many problems of mail-in voting, and if this is the path that should be decided upon, the priority must be to make sure that such a process is secure before it happens (which he then follows with a number of question marks). Everyone knows that the election will not be delayed. The concern is on how the election will be held .... ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, etc.. As to what is my opinion on mail-in voting. I have already talked about how disastrous the idea of mail-in voting is by pointing out recent cases .... Will Mail-In Voting Turn U.S. Election Day Into Election Week? (May 29, 2020).

  1. Trump once again engages his secret remote/mind-control freakout device for the Dems/Fake News. All he has to do is press the button and they oblige with the desired spasms.

  2. 1. Only Congress (ie the GOP controlled Senate and the Dem controlled House) can change the date of the election.
    2. Many GOP Senators have already gone on record as saying they would not change the date of the election

  3. That's how Trump talks. He phrases it like a question so can deny it later, and is pure bullsh*t.

    Like saying "I heard your mother is a whore" -- I'm not saying she's whore, even though I've just put her name in the same sentence as "whore".

  4. 3:33,

    Why have the election on November 3rd. It is not like it is set in stone. They say it is, but it is not.

    The election is never over until they find the last 1,000 ballots in the trunk of car (Iron Range in Minnesota and in St Petersburg, Florida).

    If you look at when votes are actually cast and counted it is more like a smear. The median, mode, & average may be on election day, but that gets iffier by the year.

    There is an primary election in the state of New York held in June. It is almost August and we still do not know the winner. CBS conducted a mail ballot test and 3% of the ballots did not get to destination.

    In the last decade 23 million military ballots have been lost or too late to be counted.

    Trump is being hyperbolic, but he is making a very valid point.

    t the end of the day it always comes down to Democrats cheating or wanting to cheat. That is all this m,ail in ballot thing is.

  5. "He phrases it like a question so can deny it later, and is pure bullsh*t"

    Then you must hate most news. Most news organizations write their headlines that way, right or left.

    I use the technique myself having seen it so often.

    BTW, I heard Hillary was your real mama.

  6. Sounds like something a loser would do. You know what they call one-term presidents? Losers.

    Be a real shame if he lost.

  7. It would be a real shame, if the election was stolen by the Democrats.

    Slow Joe got 247 views on his last attempt to read a teleprompter.

    Democrats have already show that they will murder 50,000 to 100,000 of their fellow citizens for power.

  8. Which one is it? 50,000 or 100,000?

    Only a fool and a hypocrite would advocate for mail-in ballots and howl against in-person voting - while at the same time say mass Marxist protests and riots are fine.

    Voter ID. Traditional voting booths. And cut the ballot harvesting.

    The Dems cannot be allowed to mask their fraud and corruption in incompetence again.

  11. If people can line up at Walmart, Costco, and Best Buy, then they can bloody well line up at a polling station. The idea that they can't and the only solution is mail in voting is acknowledgement that the Democrats want to cheat big time. Also I think it's a realization that the severe restrictions in Democrat controlled areas will suppress democratic voters (because who wants to put up with that bullshit) and encourage republican voters (because who wants to put up with that bullshit).
