NBC - Trump says 'biggest risk' to re-election is not stopping increased mail-in voting [View all]

LINK

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says in an interview that the "biggest risk" to his re-election prospects in November is increased mail-in voting and whether he can win lawsuits to stop its expansion.

"My biggest risk is that we don't win lawsuits," Trump said in an Oval Office interview Thursday with Politico that focused on the 2020 race.

"We have many lawsuits going all over. And if we don't win those lawsuits, I think — I think it puts the election at risk," he added.



..except it has nothing to do with lawsuits. The GOP will simply defund the USPS. So my question to DU and progressives - what's the backup plan? Work under the assumption there will be no mail service to deliver ballots. How do we get those voters to the polls and get their ballots to the ballot boxes?
