Vote and comment.
"If?"
I'm most certain they will be regardless of who wins or loses. This mail-in ballot has so many loopholes that we'll probably have recounts into 2021.

Agreed, I'd be shocked if it weren't contested for a considerable period of time.
If Trump is winning election night, the Dems will never concede until every last mail in ballot is counted, and likewise vice versa.
I had hoped that it would be a blow-out (for someone, don't really care), but that's probably not going to happen.
It's going to be close again.
...not as close as last time, but close enough that partisans on both sides will be able to plausibly refuse to concede.
P.S. For the record, I think it'll end up at the SCOTUS.

I expect Trump to win (landslide) and Progressives to be Butt Hurt and Violent.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

I, personally, couldn't care less how the votes are counted.
I'd be just fine with a coin flip.
But, you, I, all reasonable people, we will be forced to live in a country in which most people do care.
And I'm really pretty worried about these people getting violent.
Trump is the one who's less likely to concede; on the other hand, if Trump wins, Dems will riot even if Biden does concede.
So, I would recommend purchasing a large supply of TP.

It doesn't matter who votes. What matters is who counts the votes.
The vote counting will be a disaster. There will be no way to determine who really won. Pelosi claims presidency
There's nothing more obnoxious than those who endorse this system and then claim, well, it's not *true* democracy.
No, people, this is the real thing.
The Deep State™ isn't miscounting votes, or otherwise misrepresenting the will of the people.
The state as it exists is a product of voting.
The world as it exists is, in fact, the product of the will of the people.
Don't like it? The problem isn't some gang interfering with voting.
...it's the voting itself.

Heard the idea tossed around of trying to manipulate the Electors. Supreme Court might come into play like in 2000 now with Amy Coney Barrett.
At this point I think trump likely to win electoral and the leftists would probably riot no matter who did.
Bankers and big government will win. We will lose again.

And get this, The Supreme Court ruled that ballots that mail in ballots received after polls close WILL NOT BE COUNTED.
https://www.freep.com/story/news/pol...-3/6049062002/
MADISON - The Supreme Court upheld Wisconsin's voting laws Monday, rejecting an effort to require the counting of absentee ballots that are sent back to election officials on or just before Election Day.
The court's 5-3 ruling means that absentee ballots will be counted only if they are in the hands of municipal clerks by the time polls close on Nov. 3.
The justices determined the courts shouldn't be the ones to decide the election rules amid the coronavirus pandemic that is surging in Wisconsin and across the world.
"The Constitution provides that state legislatures — not federal judges, not state judges, not state governors, not other state officials — bear primary responsibility for setting election rules," Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a concurring opinion.

Anything from the lower courts or, indeed, from the high court itself, is waste and rubbish if they, the Congresswine want it to be.
The Supreme Court of the United States can do what they please...until Congress says otherwise.
I suppose my point is that the court doesn't actually matter.
Congress and the POTUS decide all of these things.
comment?
hahaha

FLIP THOSE FLAGS, THE NATION IS IN DISTRESS!
why I should worship the state (who apparently is the only party that can possess guns without question).
The state's only purpose is to kill and control. Why do you worship it? - Sola_Fide
Baptiste said.
At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?
If/when Trump wins,, will the media Report it?

One or the other will step aside.

About a third think it'll be decided by extra-legal means..
I think that most people voting for that option, to the extent they're hoping for it, don't know a thing about it.
War is fun until you're in it: then, considerably less so.

Your previous comment notwithstanding, yes.
I am well aware of what suffering war will bring, and there may just be enough cooler heads to keep that from happening.
Clearly, the current situation is untenable, with no peaceful way to resolve it, other than separation.
But I do not dismiss the possibility of violent conflict at all, in form of guerilla fought civil war, internal military junta, or Jacobin-esque terror squads.

One or the other candidate conceding. Hillary has already said that Joe should not concede under any circumstances.
