Trump accuses Democrats of 'rigging' the November election during Nevada rally
nbc ^ | Sep 13th 2020 | ALICIA VICTORIA LOZANO

Posted on 09/13/2020 6:53:57 AM PDT by MarvinStinson

At a campaign rally in Nevada, President Trump repeated unsubstantiated claims that mail-in ballots would contribute to widespread voter fraud in the November election.

“The Democrats are trying to rig this election because that’s the only way they’re going to win,” he said.

In a meandering 90-minute speech, Trump touched on some of his campaign's themes, including protecting the Second Amendment, securing the U.S.-Mexico border, ending ongoing civil unrest and beating his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden.

"Let's face it - Joe is shot," he said. "He's going to be locked up someplace, and the radical left is going to be running our country."

Trump addressed supporters on the tarmac of Nevada's Minden-Tahoe Airport. Many of those gathered were not wearing masks or practicing social distancing despite the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump addressed the change in location on Saturday, accusing Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak, a Democrat, of attempting to shut down the campaign rally because of political bias.

"He tried to stop us. He couldn't, and now he's in charge of the election," he said. "He can rig the election."

Governors do not oversee elections or their results - that duty falls to the secretary of state and county clerks.

In Nevada, any registered voter can request to cast their ballot by mail. Dozens of other states will also allow mail-in voting this November. Despite his stated opposition to it, Trump requested his own mail-in ballot earlier this year.

Mail-in voting "is the greatest scam in the history of presidential politics," he told supporters.

Democrats are sending ballots "to dogs," Trump said. "Everybody is getting ballots - probably everybody but Republicans."

I gather that the mainstream lamestream media are nervous about recent polling responses.

He also told the Republican governors to be aware and the crowd to be poll watchers. I remember working the election as an official and Obama’s poll watchers showing up.

No bias there.

Click for states and early voting/mail in ballots.

https://www.businessinsider.com/when-is-early-voting-in-each-state-2020-8

10 States plus D.C. are sending mail ballots to all or most
registered voters. Shown on the above linked info

Looks normal practices for many states, I think.

Several States have many days of in person early voting.
So voting by mail isn't necessary in a lot of cases, imo.

Absolutely correct!!

Our politicians are in charge of our election process! What is the point of their whining to us?
Same goes for all the OTHER corruption we read about every day - but nobody ever gets prosecuted for...

Seems like everybody’s hands are tied, except for those committing the federal crimes.

I see this on AOL which I use solely for email but you have to go by their “news”. Every article about Trump is negative, colored by critical and judgmental adjectives showing the author’s bias and usually the worst photo they can find of the man. Never and nary a bad word or photo about Biden, who is obviously senile.

NV has so rigged the election there I do not see how Trump wins the state but he was determined to hold a rally there. He had his reasons I have no doubt. Maybe to deliver this message.

********

Not necessarily anyone but they do have some qualifications
that the registered voter is agreeing to. Now checking them
is another matter, for sure.

See bottom left corner of posted Voter Application.

NBC fake news strikes again.
This is not about requesting anything. It's about blanket mass mailing of ballots to every dog, cat, dead person and child in Nevada including those who have changed their address, moved to other states etc. Its a license to cheat.

The President may have asked for an ABSENTEE ballot. Not the same, although the media liars want the public to believe so.

“Unsubstantiated,” “meandering,” discussing the lack of masks and social distancing...no bias there, NBC. Nope, none whatsoever...
