“Punctuating the White House task force briefing Friday, President Trump said adamantly that the general election would still take place Nov. 3, dismissing any suggestion of mail-in voting,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Trump: “I think a lot of people cheat with mail-in voting. People should vote with ID, voter ID, I think voter ID is very important. The reason they don’t want voter ID is because they intend to cheat.”

He added: “It shouldn’t be mail-in voting. It should be you go to booth and you proudly display yourself, you send it in the mail… all sorts of bad things can happen… by the time it gets in and is tabulated.”

“Trump did not provide any evidence to back up his assertion and immediately ended Friday’s news conference after discussing the topic.”

Meanwhile, the Palm Beach Post reports that Trump himself has requested a vote-by-mail ballot for the Florida Republican presidential primary.

1. Fortunately, that's not up to Dear Leader.

It's controlled by the states.

2. That sounds like he is effectively cancelling the election if people can vote in it

3. Not up to him

Oregon, for example, has been totally vote by mail for nearly 2 decades.

4. It would eliminate the Russian

hacking of the voting machines.

6. Trump apparently doesn't understand

The electoral process. Instead of attending his 8th grade civics class, he was probably out rolling smaller kids for their lunch money.
