Trump Can't Stop Talking About How He Plans to Steal the Election
With six days to go until the 2020 election, Donald Trump seems to have realized he has little chance of winning based on votes alone. So hes hoping that this year, the process by which the victor is determined plays out a little differently, in that not all the ballots are counted. Last night at a rally in Michigan, he once again baselessly suggested that mail-in voting is rife with fraud, asking the crowd Whos sending them? Where are they going? Whos sending them back? And on Wednesday, he just gave up the entire game:
Well see what happens at the end of the day [on Election Day], he told reporters. Hopefully it won't go longer than that. Hopefully the few states remaining that want to take a lot of time after November 3 to count ballots, that wont be allowed by the various courts.

Of course, in America, unlike in dictatorial countries that hold sham elections just for show, we count all the ballots that are cast. Thats particularly important this year, with COVID-19 scaring many people off from voting in person, and with the postal service curiously taking longer than usual to deliver stuff. And clearly, someone has alerted the president to the fact that the majority of ballots being sent via mail probably arent for him:
Democrats have amassed significant leads over Republicans in pre-Election Day voting in key states, raising the stakes for President Donald Trump, who will need blockbuster Election Day turnout to close the gap. Party registration doesnt predict how individuals will vote. But the data shows that Democrats are following through on their strong preference for mail-in voting, while many Republicans still plan to vote in person on November
