States differ in how they conduct elections. But with the
situation at hand they can still have in person voting by
scheduling the voting over a period of days. Early voting
in some places is schedule in advance for several days. I
know of churches that used to have Sunday service, a dinner
at church and then caravan to the early voting site to vote.
Sunday was a big turnout day.

A probable Canadian, Charlie Brown Cornhead, and Karen Abbott all showed their hands. ALL had minor TDS reactions.

Hes not nearly as clever as he thinks he is.
His judgement can also be somewhat suspect.

Not probable, he has a Canadian birth certificate and had Canadian citizenship until he renounced it 2015 in preparation to try to usurp the office of President.

Trump played this well. He locked in the November 3 date for the election (and with the admonition that a winner be declared “before the night is over”) before the Dems could find a lame excuse to delay it themselves.

This is why the President will win re-election.
He can drive the news cycle any time he wants, on any topic he wants, and the stupid mass media will jump to chase the squirrel.
Too funny—they _never_ learn!
