Most voters want verdict on Trump election subversion charges before Election Day: Poll

Voters deserve to know if TFG is a criminal before the election

Former President Trump’s legal drama over his role in attempting to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election is weighing heavily on voters as they prepare to cast their ballots this year, according to a new survey.

Federal prosecutors have charged Trump with four felonies related to the 2020 vote, but he has argued he has immunity from criminal prosecution during his time as president.

A CNN poll released Monday and conducted by independent firm SSRS found that 48 percent of respondents said it is “essential” that a verdict be reached by Election Day, and another 16 percent that they’d prefer to know the outcome of the case ahead of Nov. 5....

Among those surveyed in the CNN/SSRS poll who said they want a verdict in the election subversion case, just 35 percent said they trust the Supreme Court on election-related cases.

There's procedures and stuff, ya know.

Can't rush these things, or else we'd be giving up something that's somehow even more important than protecting democracy itself. You know, like not rushing investigators and judges who aren't used to being rushed, and really finely-crafted legal opinions.

Damn. It BETTER happen before election day. But there's a lot of management of expectations going on lately.
