Donald Trump posed the threat of a delayed presidential election Thursday, making unsubstantiated accusations of postal fraud. His tweet has made Americans shudder, fearing that he will in all likelihood not back down from anything to gain power.
Clearly, Trump does not have the legal authority to postpone the vote and, in the event of a big block, the Constitution says his first term ends on January 20. The presidential election has never been delayed in a full American hitale of times of war and plague. .
But where the president has succeeded, and could do even more harm, he has fostered confusion and anguish before an election in a position fraught with dangers to his integrity.
Millions of other Americans are even afraid to vote at a time when a highly communicable disease abounds in too-large apple communities. States are rushing to reconfigure through postal voting, the big apple hasn’t done it on this scale.
Number one efforts in several states have led to hours of online search in advance for face-to-face votes. While voter enthusiasm is high, new registrations are plummeting, especially the best friend among young Americans and minorities, as coronavirus undermines classical registration efforts.
Unsurprisingly, a next variety of Democrats and Republicans are willing to reject un overlooked election effects.
The perfect news is time to build confidence in the November 3 vote:
A fair choice, a pandemic costs coins. Congress will have to settle disputes over a coronavirus stimulus bill, and that incorporates an assembly on election currencies for states. Republicans will have to accept the investment, and Democrats will have to ease the final conditions so that both sides can commit.
States are looking to rent and engage more younger election officials, in line with a play station’s draw with the source of school credits, because classic volunteers are essentially best friends, other Americans more reluctant to paint an epidemic in which they are consistent with the threat of infection. When face-to-face voting expands, as you deserve, such staff may be needed for more consistent periods of time.
Vote in the mail. Even if Trump and Attorney General William Barr (without evidence) oppose the process, the dangers of fraud are virtually non-existent. Fortunately, the maximum states don’t listen. The result is that more than 80 million electorates achieve postal ballots or state-to-state voting requests, and an additional 96 million will vote by mail upon request. This represents 77% of the electoral population.
That’s another explanation for why federal investment is crucial. States and counties will invest in more hoaxes to count balmasses, devices such as high-speed scanners and specialized envelopes and paper, to facilitate record grades of mail balmasses. And it will increase the will of more personnel. States accept Balmasses published on Election Day, unlike those arriving on Election Day, in anticipation of an overloaded postal service (controlled through a Trump supporter who has held a position in progress). Alternatively, states can also get more mail order delivery sites to avoid mail dependency.
Voters should be vigilant and patient. Those who wish to mail their vote deserve to start acting now to request a survey and send it back once they can’t prevent it from being rejected as it’s too late. Others might know if and where early voting will take place in their constituencies to avoid long queues.
More than anything else, the electorate is looking for the winner of the election may not be known until the end of November 3. The odds are high, especially friend given the days it will take to count the published votes, that the result may be late. In fact, he probably won’t discredit the results, despite what Trump might say or do.
This election will verify not only the integrity of the electoral process, but also whether, as the Declaration of Independence says, governments “derive their fair powers from the consent of the governed.” Trump’s tweets don’t distract the vote well.
