Did I hear right

Trump is suing the states with mail n ballets? I hope I am wrong,; but he has gone more bonkers and desperate by the minute. I think he needs to be impeached again or something has to be done. Maybe his family needs to step in and put him in time out since the Trump party won't do anything. He has to be fearful now that he will go to jail if he is not re- elected because he seems scared and needs to be locked up in a mental hospital. Maybe that is why he went to a doctor.

‘Everybody Is Suing’: Trump-Biden Election Sets Up Legal Logjam

Snip


Many of the lawsuits center on the use of mail-in ballots, which is expected to surge to historic highs given concern about catching the virus while voting in person.

Why don't he just pack up and take his crime family and go. This is so dangerous and petty and fraudulent.I wish it was already 2021 and Dems cleaned house in all three branches. This is why I think Gov Cuomo should be the VP because he knows how to be on top of this and has the platform to tackle this head on by calling this crap out before these hack judges give trump four or longer more years. And it is only August. Imagine how much more insane this turd will get between now and then. If the Dems do not open investigation than they should just give up their power because they are the only ones who can stop this and put those combustible congressmen in front of a mic. Calling Gov Cuomo and the Congressman who was asking Barr about Foreign influence. Also Sciff and other tough ones.

The issue is with locations of drop boxes and other things. The issue isn't with mail-in ballots per se.

"specifically take issue with many counties allowing voters to return absentee and mail-in ballots to locations other than their respective county elections offices during the primary."

The Republican lawsuit also asks the court to prevent counties from counting absentee and mail-in ballots that lack a secrecy envelope, and those that "contain on that envelope any text, mark, or symbol which reveals the elector's identity, political affiliation, or candidate preference.""
