Democrats have been insisting that voting by mail is perfectly safe and will not present any issues for the upcoming November presidential election.
But a case in Paterson, NJ, one small city in one small state, has shown what a catastrophe voting by mail could, and likely will, be for the entire nation, The Hill reported.
New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal (D) charged four people, including a city councilman and councilman-elect, in Paterson last week with criminal conduct involving mail-in ballots. The discovery of hundreds of mail-in ballots in a Paterson mailbox sparked the investigation, CNN reported.
Keep in mind this is one town in one state. Imagine the chaos that would reign nationwide as city and town after city and town faced this scrutiny.
How would a winner in the presidential election be declared if either candidate cannot trust the validity of the votes?

Although the Passaic County Board of Elections has disqualified 3,190 mail-in ballots, or 19 percent, from the election, it did not determine they were all fraudulent. The board determined about 800 were improperly bundled in mailboxes and disqualified another 2,300 after checking signatures on the ballots against those on file, the Paterson Press reported.
“Today’s charges send a clear message: if you try to tamper with an election in New Jersey, we will find you and we will hold you accountable,” Attorney General Grewal said in June.
“We will not allow a small number of criminals to undermine the public’s confidence in our democratic process,” said.
“The residents of New Jersey have a right to free and fair elections, and we will ensure that happens,” OPIA Director Thomas Eicher said.
“Our office’s criminal investigations complement a number of other safeguards that New Jersey has implemented to ensure the integrity of our elections,” he said.
The election has gained national attention as even President Donald Trump has commented on it as an example of how corrupt mail in voting can be.
“The 2020 Election will be totally rigged if Mail-In Voting is allowed to take place, & everyone knows it,” he said.
“So much time is taken talking about foreign influence, but the same people won’t even discuss Mail-In election corruption. Look at Patterson, N.J. 20% of vote was corrupted!” he said.
The president’s campaign is suing Gov. Murphy over the hybrid voting model he intends to use for the state in November.
“The President’s campaign is putting itself on record as wanting to delegitimize our November election instead of working with us to ensure that voters rights are upheld alongside public health,” the governor said.
Federal funds should require that the recalcitrant states clean up the rolls.
Once Bush I trashed the Reagan Revolution and that vision, America has been on a very steep decline. 9/11 was used as crisis for the Swamp to grow. Floyd and 'Rona are being used as well. Americans are being played.
Well to answer all your questions, Biden of course.
In the words of Mike Chernovic “that’s the way it is”.
(“Constitutionally, if by January 1, 2021 a president has not been declared, ...”)
Can you cite where in the Constitution it says this? Please give me Article/section/paragraph or Amendment/section/paragraph.
DJTs term as President doesn’t end until noon January 20, 2021. See amendment XX , Section 1.
Yep..That is the DemoncRAT way . Don't believe them.
“National Chaos on every level imaginable brought to you by the DNC.”
Because they know they don’t have a chance of winning, so they will drag this country through hell.
Democrats.
Being big and fast and accurate with a round ball does nothing for the IQ of the LeBrons of the athletic world. Being dumb as a box of rocks doesn’t help either. Mister James is a dead soul squawking.
I thought it was January 20th as well until I read otherwise just the other day. I’ll find it again and get back to you.
My bad! Apparently the jury is still out on just how a delayed election conclusion will be handled. According to Fact Check and Snopes and at least for this election, they say if there is no president declared and since Congressional House and Senate seats are also being voted on, that no Senator nor Representative who was running in said election will assume office until the National election is declared valid which has to involve declaring a presidential winner. Also, Congressional House and vacant Senate seat incomes will cease immediately on the day after the election in such a case. Seated Senators I assume will still receive their pay.
