The President of the United States Donald trump suggested to postpone presidential elections scheduled for November, says RBC. In the case of a vote by mail election 2020 will be “the most inaccurate and fraudulent in history,” he wrote on Twitter.

“Postpone the elections as long as people will not be able to properly and safely take a vote?” – offered trump.

Trump earlier opposed a vote by mail, while Democrats spoke for him in connection with the pandemic coronavirus. At the same time, surveys show that few people in the US believe that voting by mail is indeed due to the danger of fraud.

Approximately half of the States registered voter is entitled to vote by mail, if he asks to send him the newsletter. Individual US States have simplified procedure for voting by mail in connection with the pandemic. In six States the November ballot are planning to hold the mail: it’s California, Utah, Hawaii, United Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. Several other States are considering it.

In those States which already decided to vote remotely, the ballots will be sent by mail or delivered by couriers to all registered voters. To vote personally at the site will also be possible, but only for a good reason.

The current President of the United States recalled that in many countries, the actions of the authorities which are critical of his media (the President again called them Fake News) cited as examples of successful struggle against COVID-19, there are new outbreaks of the “Chinese virus”.

“In some of these countries the situation is already disastrous. Voting by mail has also proved that it is a real disaster. The Democrats say about foreign influence on elections, but even they know that postal voting is an easy opportunity for other countries to intervene in the race,” trump wrote.

Later on Thursday, the representative of the headquarters of the trump Hogan Gigli said that the President only “wondered” about the possibility of postponing the vote to avoid holding it by mail.

The United States presidential election will be held on November 3. Trump has become the main candidate from the Republican party. Democratic was nominated by Joe Biden.

According to the U.S. Constitution, to postpone the date of voting on elections of the President only the Congress. Three Federal law in the United States and establish a precise and not a changeable date of the vote – “the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November.” This rule has not changed since 1845.

To postpone the vote required the approval of both chambers of Congress. To transfer a majority in the House of representatives and in the Senate, said ABC News.

In the current situation, if the electoral College which assigns the results of the presidential elections, do not vote at the designated date, the term trump will be considered legally expired 20 Jan 2021.

According to the Center for control and prevention of diseases (CDC) on July 29, since the beginning of the pandemic COVID-19 in the country has infected about 4.4 million people, of whom almost 149 thousand died. The number of sick and dying US bypass all other countries of the world.

Also in April, trump declared that does not consider the possibility of postponing the elections. “I never thought about changing the date of the election,” said trump, noting that November 3 – “a good number”.

In may, however, Advisor to the President of the United States Jared Kushner in an interview with Time magazine did not give a guarantee that the next presidential election in the United States on the background of the pandemic coronavirus can go as scheduled – November 3, 2020.

We will note, the President’s initiative has not found support from key members of the trump, including the leader of the Republican majority in the U.S. Senate is Mitch McConnell. Influential legislator agreed on Thursday in one of the television broadcast of his native Kentucky with the assumption that the date of the elections, scheduled for November 3, essentially “carved in stone”, as expressed by the presenter. “That’s right. We can handle any situation, whatever it was, and hold elections on 3 November, as already planned,” – said the Senator. He reminded that the elections last took place in the United States, despite the crisis. “Never in the history of the country, despite war, depression, Civil war, we did not have such a situation in which the planned Federal elections would not take place on time. And again we’ll find a way to ensure that on November 3 this year,” said McConnell.

In addition, the idea of trump rejected Republican senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz. Trump’s offer was not supported by a number of Republicans in the House of representatives.

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA.

Never in American history-not even during the Civil War and World War II–has there been a successful move to “Delay the Election” for President.— Michael Beschloss (@BeschlossDC) September 30, 2020
