Donald Trump is right. The next election will be rigged.

Because he plans on rigging it. Just like he rigged the 2016 election.

When he tells us that the election is going to be "rigged", we should believe him. The Republicans will help him every way they can.

Donald Trump plans on rigging the next election. Do you doubt that?

Someone else is doing it, chances are excellent that he is.

It also gives him a new gambit if by some chance he loses because in his sick narcissistic brain the only way he can lose is it it's rigged. It's never 'him' unless its good, then even if it's not 'him' it is.

We need to get such a huge amount of Biden voters casting votes, a friggin huge blue Tsunami, that there is ZERO doubt that Biden won. Trump can try to claim it's rigged then but he won't gain traction except with his crazy-was cult members.

The question is, what if his idea of rigging the election is to PREVENT us from voting?

He'd basically need to create havoc in the cities where many Dem votes are coming from.

He still has rural America in his back pocket.

Shut down the cities and he has a fighting chance.

That's why these stormtroopers in Portland are so frightening. They are a harbinger of things to come. And a tell as to how he intends to steal the next election.

after the election for Barr to challenge election results in all the states cat grabber looses. The courts will be called on, again, to decide the out come of this election. Republicans will, of course, limit voting. But, whatever margin Biden wins by will be deemed illegitimate. Do you trust the court?

8. Which Court?

The SC doesn't have the ability to weigh in on votes; they have the ability to weigh in on process. Keep in mind that PA-MI-WI are now under Democratic control, and FL margins appear far above the level needed for a recount.

Making it harder to get Absentee ballots? Maybe (Most Republican States like them)

Stopping the Post Office from delivering them? No (see above)

Changi9ng voting machine results? Definitely no (no data whatsoever that its been done)

...looking at manipulating and molding the minds of the possible voters in the last 3 or 4 weeks. Lies and character assassination of his opponent. Or to provoke something to postpone the election in its entirety?

If voting by mail is not permitted in some places, could you imagine 600,000 people trying to vote at one polling place, as they now have set up in a Louisville, KY precinct?
