    Look at Bill Barr. Trump will only get someone he knows will get a vote in his favor if he nominates him/her.

    The trolls are the people who think Trump wont walk away if he loses. That includes every media outlet who went with this clickbait crap. This is America , not Venezuela.

    If there are fraud issues , I don't expect either to concede until the matter is settled .... but it WILL be settled by inauguration day and one of them will walk away without issue.

    As for "trump supporters" starting **** if he loses .... they wont , they haven't. The only people who have started **** are the rioters & looters and none of them are Trump supporters.

    When Trump is slinging around all of his wild BS claims of universal mail voting fraud, he is really only talking about one state, Nevada, which he lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016.


    Donald Trump keeps blasting 'universal' mail voting. But few states are planning that in November

    WASHINGTON — As he unleashes a barrage of attacks on voting by mail, President Donald Trump has increasingly warned that "universal" mail-voting poses the biggest danger for voter fraud and threat to democracy.

    But only nine states and the District of Columbia so far plan to hold universal mail-in elections – in which ballots are automatically mailed to all registered voters without needing to first request one. And with early mail-voting set to begin as early as September in some states, election experts say it's unlikely many more states would have time to make that switch.

    A coronavirus pandemic relief package passed by House Democrats would require states to mail absentee ballots to registered voters – but it has gained no traction in the Senate and talks on the aid bill are stalled.

    Instead, most states are preparing to make mail ballots an option available by request. That includes several states encouraging the method during the pandemic by mailing voters applications for absentee ballots.

    Five of the universal mail-voting states already planned to conduct mostly all-mail elections before the coronavirus pandemic, and only one of the nine states, Nevada, is considered a battleground in the race for president between Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

    'He's scaring our own voters':Republicans run into a Donald Trump problem as they push mail voting

    In-person polling places, although reduced in many states, remain available even in states that vote fully by mail. New Jersey on Friday became the latest state to decide to send ballots out to all voters.

    "It's a tiny number of states that do this," said Lawrence Norden, director of the Election Reform Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York School of Law. "And they're not the states that are probably going to determine the outcome of the presidential election.

    "In the vast majority of states, voters are given the option to vote by mail, and we should expect that if the primaries were any indication, that many, many people are going to choose that option."

    Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, Washington were the only universal vote-by-mail states before the pandemic. California, Nevada, Vermont and New Jersey have since signed on for the November election. In addition, Montana, North Dakota and Nebraska allow individual counties to decide whether to mail ballots to all registered voters.

    Hot Constitutional Take: Trump will be arrested for trespassing in January. He works for us. And when he loses he will no longer work for us.

    Everyone. knows. Dems. cheat. by. mail.


    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/texas-attorney-general-ken-paxton-voter-fraud

    Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced four arrests Thursday on dozens of felony charges in connection with an alleged vote harvesting scheme during the 2018 Democratic primary elections in Gregg County.

    “It is an unfortunate reality that elections can be stolen outright by mail ballot fraud,” Paxton said in a statement. “Election fraud, particularly an organized mail ballot fraud scheme orchestrated by political operatives, is an affront to democracy and results in voter disenfranchisement and corruption at the highest level.”

    "July 2020 marks five years since Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was indicted on felony securities fraud charges. The criminal case against him has been a cloud over his head during nearly all of his time in statewide office, including a narrow reelection win in 2018."

    Sorry but I can't trust an indicted cockeyed b*stard that's supposed to be the highest officer in the state... but maybe he has the look of an honest man?

    Gorsuch has already voted against him, so has Roberts

    The Justices really have no reason to fall in line their positions are safe.

    At least it is good that the Repugs and Trump are essentially admitting that the only way they can win is if they cheat. They are heading for a historic landslide and hopefully it will be this November.

    Here's a breadcrumb. It's a little complicated and the Times doesn't report on their own mistakes, especially when they are complicit in spreading the false narratives:

    I read that. It isn't even clear if anything was done. If it was, it was caught and not allowed to proceed, so those claiming it won't be possible to have significant mail in ballot fraud are still correct.

    We'll see what happens from this former police former FBI investigator's claims. Right now that's all there is, just his claims. And if it turns out to be true, there was still no ballot fraud. Meanwhile...

    Yes it is! That is why the majority will vote out Trump. We don't want to turn into a nation with a wannabe Putin dictator type leader. We don't want to be like Venezuela either, where political corruption is rampant! We've seen enough of Trump's corruption, and close knit group of felons he has hired to cover his as* already!
