According to a poll conducted by two academic authors and published by The Washington Post, 52 percent of Republicans said they would back a postponement of the next election if Trump called for it.

If Trump and congressional Republicans proposed postponing the election to ensure only eligible citizens could vote, support from Republicans rises to 56 percent.

Pollsters found 47 percent of Republicans think Trump won the popular vote.

    My dad was union. They rigged the elections by identifying the people who didn't vote and stuffing the ballot boxes with fake votes in their names, then blackmailed the winners with the information that they did not win an honest vote and would take the blame if the news got out.

    The last time I went to the voting booth and got a glance at the voter rolls, about 70% of the registered voters were signed up to vote by mail. I suppose it doesn't matter who mails out the ballot. This vulnerability will not be fixed by requiring IDs for the people who vote in person.
