Trump says he hopes courts will ban counting of ANY votes after Nov. 3

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he hopes courts will step in to prevent states from counting ballots after Nov. 3, when he is demanding winner in the presidential election be declared.

Trump made the comment in Nevada from a brief availability at his Las Vegas hotel, on a West Coast swing where he hopes to chip away at Joe Biden's lead in state polls amid a nationwide early vote and mail voting surge.

'We'll see what happens at the end of the day. Hopefully it won't go longer than that [Election Day]. Hopefully the few states remaining that want to take a lot of time after November 3rd to count ballots, that won't be allowed by the various courts,' Trump said.

His comment – expressing a desire to have courts prevent states from counting votes after Election Day – goes beyond earlier comments complaining about a potentially prolonged count.

You don't get to change rules at the last minute you big baby.

1. He can F right off

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I was just thinking exactly the same thing!

[Cha]

13. I'll say it.. FUCK OFF, Murdering Treasonous

ASSFACE.

[leftieNanner]

2. Let's see what he has to say

When Biden has a lead at the end of November 3!

"Keep counting! Keep Counting! There must be more in there for ME!"

There is NEVER a full and final count of all ballots until days after any election.

[Bettie]

16. "Turn those machines back ON!"

Yeah, he will want ALL of the ballots counted when he's not winning.

4. The entire history of US elections proves Trump misguided

and the Supreme Court isn't going to come to his rescue by inventing new laws.

[Phoenix61]

5. Some states don't start counting mail in ballots

until Nov 3rd not to mention military ballots.

[Danmel]

6. TURN THOSE MACHINES BACK ON!!!!

[TwilightZone]

7. Doesn't matter.

He's just playing dumb, as usual. States get to decide how they run elections and every state has laws concerning when votes are counted. Roberts has already indicated that courts don't set election law.

8. States have long had very extended deadlines for counting ballots from overseas service members.

So I can't see how it can possibly be unconstitutional to do so.

In Pennsylvania:

What are the deadlines to vote by absentee ballot?
There are two requirements about when to submit your absentee ballot.

You must affirm that you mailed your ballot no later than 11:59 pm on the day before Election Day.
The County Election Office must receive your ballot no later than 7 days after Election Day by 5 pm.

9. What will he say when Biden has a huge lead at the end of the day?

[SledDriver]

10. How did it work in the first 200 years of the US?

Surely there wasn’t instant communication across the continent back in the early 19th century. Probably even into a good portion of the 20th century. It’s not like not having a winner declared on Election Day itself is unprecedented.

[FloridaBlues]

11. Doesn't work that way in any state just ask the supervisor of elections good luck trump with that

[SharonClark]

12. He can't have "his" courts overturn state laws. That's not how it works.

[central scrutinizer]

14. May disenfranchise the troops overseas.

Not that he cares about a bunch of suckers and losers

[ThoughtCriminal]

15. In 2000, the GOP insisted that these ballots get counted in Florida

Even if they were postmarked AFTER election day.

[EndlessWire]

17. I still have lingering fear.

I think it isn't this simple.

Originally, we all wanted paper ballots, because they couldn't be hacked. So, we had a rush on voting by mail. And he complained about that.

Then, he put his buddy in there to screw up all the balloting. So, that guy broke all, or many, of the processing machines. So, there were issues with getting your ballot.

Now, he wants all the voting cut off on November 3rd. I think it's possible that he is doing something to the machine voting, and doesn't want a bunch of Biden votes coming in to beat his hack. Well, it could happen.

He's still got a chance to screw with the Electors as well. They are who really count. I have heard all the arguments about how it can't possibly happen, but I believe it can. I believe that all this is window dressing for a screwed up count where he can purloin the Electors.

So, I'll be really happy to hear the media analysts declare Biden the winner, but by no means will it be over on Tuesday.

When I was a soldier, I adhered to overseas deadlines, but the Pres was declared long before my vote could ever have been counted. So, I know how those military members are going to feel.
