Trump accuses Democrats of cheating with mail-in ballots.

He wants to get rid of ballots altogether.

He would hope to create enough chaos and doubt to get the Courts involved and to be able to dispute the results of the next election. In simplest terms, he wants to cheat.

If Democrats were capable of fixing the mail-in ballots, they would have done it in 2018, when Mitch McConnell kept control of the Senate and increased their number by a couple.

It is neither logical or rational to believe that Donald Trump is going to be cheated in the next election. The votes are verified and validated. I, personally, have been voting for several years with mail-in ballots and we feel very secure in the way it is counted. (How in the world did Cory Gardner win with mail-in ballots?)

He is spewing out bullshit and lies because he is afraid that he is going to lose.

The ballots will be counted. The in-person votes will be counted. The candidate that gets the most votes will be the next President. It is not a "hoax'.

So according to Trump, those states shouldn't even count?

The states make the voting rules not him. The only requirement is they do not discriminate by race or gender.

I guess they'll be the ones standing in line without masks.

Republicans are more likely to vote in person and more likely to refuse to wear a mask.

Best news is the way he broadcasts his idiotic plans months in advance, leaving plenty of time to deal with him. Who cries, throw out the ballots? You cannot get dumber than this guy, period. Also, it's true anyone can be president.
