He will figure out a way. If you are in a war he can postpone the election. That's one way.

The US Constitution does not allow the President to suspend elections for any reason. That sound bite of Trump word vomiting about that is because Zelenskyy *does* have that ability in Ukraine and is exercising it currently.

Again you refer to laws and rules. So I have to repeat myself: fascists don't play by rules. You should have noticed after 200+ days of 47 in which democracy has been thoroughly destroyed.

Democracy literally has not been destroyed. Is Trump a fascist? Yes! But we still have a democracy. We are literally in the middle of an election cycle.

I hope you are right but nothing, I mean nothing, is indicating that there will be any more fair elections in the US. But I hope you're right.

Trump can *say* whatever he wants, but the states control voting, and none of the liberal states (and some of the conservative states) will not go along with his unconstitutional bullshit. There are so many layers to voting that he just doesn't control.

I hope so too, but the proceedings in Texas (less ballot boxes in selected areas) and the initiative to end mail in ballots doesn't bode well.

Fraudsters always have a whole array of options at their disposal. Presently he is killing the mail in ballots, probably he will also extent control over the counting process. 'counting' I mean.

Only the States have the authority to regulate voting. Trump can't legally do shit re: mail-in ballots.
