Welp, I’m certainly not surprised. I am quite sure that the closer we get to November, we will hear a bunch of chatter bout this 2020 Presidential election.
Early Thursday morning, President Donald Trump took to twitter to suggest that the 2020 Presidential election be delayed due to Universal Mail-In Voting.
According to BBC,
Trump wants to delay the election until people can “properly, securely and safely” vote.
There is little evidence to support Mr Trump’s claims but he has long railed against mail-in voting which he has said would be susceptible to fraud.
US states want to make postal voting easier due to public health concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.
In a series of tweets, Mr Trump said “universal mail-in voting” would make November’s vote the “most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history” and a “great embarrassment to the USA”.
He suggested – without providing evidence – that mail-in voting, as it is known in the US, would be susceptible to foreign interference.
“The Dems talk of foreign influence in voting, but they know that Mail-In Voting is an easy way for foreign countries to enter the race,” he said.
Mr Trump also said postal voting was “already proving to be a catastrophic disaster” in areas where it was being tried out.
Earlier this month, six US states were planning to hold “all-mail” ballot elections this November: California, Utah, Hawaii, Colorado, Oregon and Washington.
These states will automatically send postal ballots to all registered voters, which then have to be sent back or dropped off on election day – although some in-person voting is still available in certain limited circumstances.
- Does US postal voting lead to ‘tremendous fraud’?
- Could Donald Trump delay the presidential election?
About half of US states allow any registered voter to vote by post on request.
Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen. This will be a wild upcoming few months.
