In a morning tweet (what else,) Mr. Trump posted:

Furthermore, while the country honored the legacy of John Lewis, the Chief Executive Demagogue boasted that he had done away with Obama Era Fair Housing Policies in the suburbs.
What an ass but I digress.
The readers need to be reassured. Trump can dream about delaying the elections but he can not. He does not have the power to do so.
People should also be asking Individual One why he thinks it safe to reopen schools that have a 180 to a 200-day instructional calendar and not safe to have an election on November 3, 2020.
This country has held duly scheduled elections during the Civil War, great economic upheavals, World War One, the Influenza Pandemic, World War Two, and the chaos that was 1968.
There is no reason the elections on November 3, 2020, can not take place.
Trump is also peddling the bull fecal matter that there will be a widespread vote by mail fraud and claims absentee balloting is different (it is not.)
Many states like Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Arizona, California, and Washington have had extensive or total mail-in balloting for decades with little to no instances of voter fraud.
This is a time where mail-in options should be increased and encouraged, not falsely slandered.
Also, for the people who do prefer to vote in person, public servants in the 50 states should expand early voting opportunities, locations, and hours to reduce congested voter traffic.
Even Arizona's Doug Ducey, in a narrow executive order on July 22, expanded polling locations in "state-owned assets."
Ducey still should have made it possible, as EJ Montini wrote in one of his columns, to have an all mail-in election.
On a day that the nation honors and lays to rest the Civil Rights Icon and Esteemed Public Servant John Lewis, the people should be discussing expanding voter rights and access not taking them away like the President of Betrayal proposes.
November 3, 2020, is 96 days away.
