1. Election will occur on time. In 34 states where all can vote by mail, get/return your ballot early.

And the Post Office will be there to deliver your ballot. Or, drive to a drop box.

If you just like standing in lines, vote early in the 40 states that allow early voting.

the election getting cancelled but I do think he and his minions will try all kinds of things between now and Jan 20th. It will be the most chaotic time in our nation's history since the Civil War. Especially after Biden wins in Nov.

3. For the thousand time elections are not run by the federal government

the date is set in the constitution and the states are in charge of running them. Trump has no say in it whatsoever. If he tried, states could just ignore it and go ahead.

He is a terrible leader and liar. Sane people are sick and tired of him and will immediately be suspicious if a reichstag incident occurs !

of thugs. His attempts to activate to perform violence for him have produced weak results. So, I don't expect a Reichstag event, but attempts are likely. He does not have the backing of the US military.

This doctor may be right about Trump, but he doesn't understand the basics of our Constitution.
