With no end to the coronavirus pandemic in sight, the United States is now staring at the possibility of a “nightmare scenario” derailing its election.

Mr Trump has made wild claims about voter fraud before without any evidence to back up his views, but this time he is exaggerating a real problem., and has found mail voting is more vulnerable to fraud than in-person voting.

“As with all forms of voter fraud, documented instances of fraud related to mail voting are rare. However, even many scholars who argue that fraud is generally rare agree that fraud with mail voting seems to be more frequent than with in-person voting.”to deal with the drastic increase in volume that a large mail-voting effort would inevitably cause.

“Across the political spectrum, faith in the democratic process disintegrates as Americans question the validity of the election.”Finally, there is the risk that too many mailed-in votes won’t be counted at all. The election between Mr Trump and Ms Clinton was ultimately decided by a few tens of thousands of votes, spread across three critical swing states.

The US Constitution gives Congress, not the President, the power to set a date for the presidential election. For that date to change, the House of Representatives and the Senate would both need to pass a piece of legislation – and they haven’t been agreeing on much lately.

IF PEOPLE CAN GO TO THE SUPERMARKET AND BUY FOOD THEY CAN GO TO THE VOTING BOOTHS TO VOTE. FACT.

what a load of BS

Just means Trump will have to stay in power until an election occurs - which he’s apparently expected to win anyway...

I really doubt that

America is the reason why you should invest heavily in education and health.

Bullshit.

So many want to stop the lockdowns. Let them be the ones that get out and vote. Everyone else can do it by post.

And its all of their own making. All they seem to be doing is blaming others. Meanwhile the rest of the world is moving on and heading to towards some normalcy. The quicker other countries recover the harder it will be for the US to blame others.

What are choice Trump or Biden. No wonder all those Americans have lost the plot!

Not a good look!

Are you guys hiring? You really need to look for a new editor-in-chief. On what data are you basing this headline? The virus is peaking in most places and the US is about to reopen. Latest antibody testing out of NY shows 14% have antibody's for covid19. You run the math.

What a load of rubbish 🙄

Here come the

Yes yes yes and yes

He’ll win a landslide, they don’t need an election and the is no challenger

This whole fakenews drama is being cooked up to save the Democrats from their own ineptitude and try to make it look like SleepyJoeBiden is something resembling a serious candidate. Watch the left wing press push it relentlessly. Just another manifestation of TDS.

More bullshit reporting.

Claims the virus may have originated in Aus are 'absurd and laughable' | Sky News AustraliaFormer Victorian Liberals President Michael Kroger says “of course there needs to be an investigation” into China’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak, claiming it is obvious the virus originated in China. \n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison remains steadfast in his call for an international investigation into the origin of COVID-19, despite backlash from Chinese authorities. \n\nMr Kroger told Sky News off the cuff comments made by mining magnate Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest that the virus may well have started in Australia were 'absurd and laughable”. \n\n“The Chinese tentacles are everywhere, and good on them, but what has happened now is this is a public relations humiliation disaster from which they will take decades and generation to recover,” he said. \n\n“That is why the Chinese are so quick to try and denounce any suggestion that it came from them and to have people prominent in Australia say we don’t know that it came from China, it may well have come from Australia, not only is it nutso stuff, but it helps the Chinese. \n\n“Are the Chinese ever going to want to admit through their incompetence it came from them, their labs, their markets in Wuhan? Of course they’re not going to want to admit that because that admits all sorts of terrible failures. \n\n“There’s never going to be a right time to have this debate quite frankly.”\n\n\n \n\n There was a full investigation and disclosure after SARS and the experts anticipated the same after Covid19. Now it has been politicised to suit President Trump's search for a scapegoat & aided by our compliant PM. Threats of legal action by Trump are designed to aggravate China. '2 US experts were in China on WHO-China joint mission in late Jan. Why not ask US experts to locate when the virus first started in the US? American people need answers. The world also has right to know.'
