No but the Democrats can subvert it through a rigged postal voting system, it won't matter much to sleepy joe cos he probably can't even remember an election is coming.

Not an accusation more a theory based on my opinion,postal voting is not as secure as voting in person, in my opinion the ballot papers pass through too many hands, would it be such an imposition for congress to delay the election Trump's going to win it anyway :shrug:

He does seem to be waving a white flag, doesn't he? And it's not even November, yet.

Its strange how he preaches democracy as and when it suits him but its a different story when it does not suit his own political ends.

It's strange that Trump will accept postal votes from the military....

He's desperate and losing.

You said that last time, you were wrong, just like you are on many other things.

Also - He cannot lose something that has not yet taken place. November 3rd is the day. :dunce:

Democrats seriously need to up their game, they've backed yet another disaster for a presidential candidate.

Yesterday, Biden could not even remember where he was again, then paused mid sentence, staring in to space.

Trump has nothing to worry about.

Although this time Biden is polling much further ahead than Clinton was and much stronger in the swing-states. Considering how close it was last time it's not good for him to be going into the election further behind.

If the polls are wrong by the same amount, 1-2%, then Biden wins. If the polls are wrong but double the amount as last time then Biden wins even if his current polling lead halves.

Of course last time we thought Clinton was going to win and there is a long way to go. Trump is currently behind though.

Why is he begging for the the election to be delayed then? Hardly the actions of a confident winner. He doesn't look or act 'compos mentis' himself.

You're right, Biden isn't the most inspirational candidate, but as long as he isn't Donald that'll will be enough. At least he is taking climate change seriously, by far the biggest threat facing the World.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 
Is Biden competent to vote in an election or does someone have power of attorney over him so they can vote in his stead, any hoo a vote for him is just a vote for his vice president cos he'll be retired off after a month in office, lets hope he doesn't trigger a war in vietnam or cambodia or somewhere from the days before he went senile before they send him to the old folks home.

I suspect that was a distraction technique to distract from the worst economic performance the country has endured since records began. Trump needs to follow the spending initiatives of us Europeans to save the country's economy. It wouldn't hurt him to pick up the phone to Sunak and listen to his advice.

The US economy shrank at a 32.9% annual rate between April and June as the country grappled with lockdowns and spending cutbacks during the pandemic.
It was the deepest decline since the government began keeping records in 1947 and three times more severe than the prior record of 10% set in 1958.

Even if the election was delayed, any President’s term of office ends 4 years after their inauguration (unless they are re-elected).

What happens if the election is delayed?

If there hasn't been an election before the scheduled inauguration day, the presidential line of succession kicks in. Second up is Vice-President Mike Pence, and given that his term in office also ends on that day, he's in the same boat as the president.

Next in line is the Speaker of the House - currently Democrat Nancy Pelosi - but her two-year term is up at the end of December. The senior-most official eligible for the presidency in such a doomsday scenario would be 86-year-old Republican Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the president pro tem of the Senate. That's assuming Republicans still control the Senate after a third of its 100 seats are vacated because of their own term expirations.
Under the Twentieth Amendment (of the US Constitution) the incumbent President's term ends at noon on January 20th. There are no provisions of law permitting a President to stay in office after this date, even in the event of a national emergency, except by the ratification of a new constitutional amendment.
