Will The U.S. Election Be Delayed?

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 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???

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).
