Trump’s Plan

This is the doomsday scenario predicted by a Democratic strategist recently. Election night will be a shock for everyone in America as the election-day ballots are counted. It will appear to be a Trump landslide, Trump will declare victory and then fight in the courts and in the streets to prevent the mail-in ballots from being counted. When the mail-in votes are counted with the in-person votes the total will instead give President Biden the landslide. Trump has previously said that no Republican would ever get elected if mail ballots were permitted and he has said repeatedly that he will only recognize the results of in-person voting as determining the winner on Nov. 3 and that he wants the winner determined that night. He refused to affiem moderator Chris Wallace’s question to both candidates that each wait until all of the states certify their votes (which typically takes weeks) before declaring victory. The Pew Research Center who conducted this polling are the gold standard in the field.


Donald Trump Has over Twice as Much In-Person Election Day Support as Joe Biden: Poll

While Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump in national polling, a recent survey shows the Republican incumbent has double the support among voters planning to cast ballots in person on Election Day.

In a new Pew Research Center poll, conducted among 10,543 registered voters September 30 to October 5, Biden had a 10-point lead [52%-42%]...

When methods of voting were taken into account, however, there was a split in which candidate led depending on how ballots were cast.

Biden led with those who intend to vote in person before Election Day [55-40] And in...voting by mail, 69%-27%].

However...in...voting on Election Day, Trump had more than double Biden's support—[63%-31%].
