I fully expect that GOP operatives have already stolen this election for Trump. It isn't just the voter suppression or their strip and flip tactics. It is any number of things that will add up to an electoral win. The GOP are masters of propaganda (just like Trump) and they will more than likely convince minorities to stay home and not vote or even vote Republicon. And even more so than in 2000 they have a crooked conservative Supreme Court to help them steal the election again if it gets that far. (a recount a year later of the entire state found that Al Gore actually won Florida in 2000 by several thousands of votes) I said it in 2016, the Democrats had better get tough and either hold these people accountable or start practicing the same tactics.
I sure hope I am wrong. At any rate, he will never finish his term nor would Biden.'Trump can still win,' Nate Silver reminds a country that doesn't seem to need remindingwww.yahoo.com/news/trump-still-win-nate-silver-053300375.html

So now it looks like Trump will win Florida. Even so, Trump was expected to be ahead in votes on election night because his base votes during election day. A large majority of the Dems vote early or by mail/drop off boxes so they have yet to be fully counted in many states. Not only that, the Supreme Court has said that ballots via the mail can be counted if they arrive 3 days after election day as long as they were postmarked that day. So here we are election night and Biden is ahead 238 to 213. That doesn't bode well for Trump so what does he do? He says I WIN! and now Trump and the cons are trying to stop the counting of all the mail in ballots for any number of reasons.
THE GOP SURE DOESN'T LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE VOTE!

Trump Tells Supporters In North Carolina To Illegally Vote Twice To Test The Systemwww.huffpost.com/entry/trump-says-people-in-north-carolina-should-vote-twice_n_5f50a6b7c5b62b3add3c2e15
The president suggested in an interview that people in the state of North Carolina should send in their votes and then vote in person.
Sept 3 (Reuters) — U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that people in the state of North Carolina should vote twice in the November election, once in person and once by mail, although doing so is a crime.
“Let them send it in and let them go vote,” Trump said in an interview with WECT-TV in Wilmington, North Carolina, when asked about the security of mail-in votes. “And if the system is as good as they say it is then obviously they won’t be able to vote” in person.
Voting more than once in an election is illegal.
“President Trump outrageously encouraged” North Carolinians “to break the law in order to help him sow chaos in our election,” state Attorney General Josh Stein said in a tweet. “Make sure you vote, but do NOT vote twice! I will do everything in my power to make sure the will of the people is upheld in November.”
U.S. Attorney General William Barr told CNN that Trump “was trying to make the point that the ability to monitor this system is not good.” Told that voting twice is illegal, he said, “I don’t know what the law in the particular state says.”
Barr said mail-in ballots for the Nov. 3 election could be vulnerable to fraud, echoing an argument Trump has made to denounce the use of voting by mail.
Trump has previously said the voting method is susceptible to large-scale fraud, although experts say voter fraud of any kind is extremely rare in the United States.
Voting by mail is not new in the United States — nearly one in four voters cast presidential ballots in 2016 that way.
A record number of mail-in ballots are expected for the Nov. 3 election due to concerns about in-person voting during the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump has accused Democrats of trying to steal the election by pushing the use of mail-in voting. The re-election campaign of Trump has recently sued states like New Jersey and Nevada for expanding access to mail-in voting.
Democrats have said Trump and fellow Republicans are attempting to suppress the vote to help their side.
