WASHINGTON – Democratic and Republican governors temporarily denounced President Donald Trump’s suggestion to directly postpone November’s presidential election, protecting the legitimacy of the postal vote and securing the electorate that the election will be held on November 3.
The return of force from the state point was added to the refrain of the bipartisan national complaint that followed Trump’s tweet and warned that the vote by mail would generate the ultimate misrepresentation and fraudulent election at hitale before asking the question: “Delaying the election to people can vote appropriately and safely ???
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, shot the president in a chain of tweets: “@realDonaldTrump, Illinois will hold our elections as required by law on November 3.”
Pritzker called the right to vote “essential,” adding that’s why he signed a law to expand vote-by-mail and make elections in Illinois safer during the coronavirus pandemic.
“The president can’t hold elections,” Pritzker said. “We will not undermine the rules of our democracy. All: Keep November 3 on your calendar.”
Delaying a presidential election would be unprecedented: the country did not even during the Civil War and World War II.
The date of the presidential election, the first Tuesday in November, is desperate by federal law, which indicates that Congress, not the president, has the strength to move it. Even if the president and Congress sought to delay the election, it would be an unimaginable rise of almost limitless friends, analysts said.

“Make no mistake: the election will happen in New Hampshire on November 3rd,” New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a Republican and Trump supporter, tweeted: “End of story. Our voting system in NH is secure, safe, and reliable. We have done it right 100% of the time for 100 years – this year will be no different.”
Trump’s tweet, which he set at the logical maxim of his Twitter page, came after months of poll numbers that appeared to be wasting suspected Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Trump has long held an opposing crusade to the mail-in voting of the coronavirus pandemic, which he criticized as a conspiracy through Democrats to “manipulate the election.”
“No,” Nellie Gorbea, Rhode Island’s Democratic secretary of state, said on Twitter. “Americans can also vote correctly, safely from home.”

“If we can also hold an election in 186 four in the middle of a civil war, we can also hold one in 2020,” said Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Trump’s average goal. “It’s time for the president to describe his priorities and paintings with Congress about a turn-taking program that protects our families, frontline staff, and small business owners.”
Frank LaRose, the Republican secretary of state for Ohio, assured Ohions in a tweet that the United States will have to suspend its election on November 3. He said Ohio would have four weeks of mail voting, face-to-face voting and voting on Election Day “as we have been done.”
“And get ready, ” he said. “Ohio will have a safe and accurate Election Day.”
Despite Trump’s warnings opposed to mail-in-mail voting fraud, the nonpartisan Brennan Cinput for Justice at New York Law School said an American is even more likely to be “struck by lightning than to devote mail fraud.” Of the billions of votes cast in all U.S. elections between 2000 and 2012, a study placed only 491 times of lost voter fraud.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam Democrat called the president’s tweet delaying the election “worrying, damaging and showing he has lost touch with reality. Register and vote on November 3.”

Washington Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee criticized Trump, calling the president to focus on the pandemic.
“Voting by mail is safe. You can’t delay the election. 150,000 Americans died from COVID-19. Smart logical tweet. Do your job,” Inslee said on Twitter.
