This is the same scenario that the Republicans said in the past,that the Democrats would use to win an election,they the Republicans are the ones that use the scenario to win the election,the Republicans are always the ones that were going to use the scenario,and blame the opposite party of trying to use it to there advantage

Horseshit. There is tons of evidence that fraudulent ballot box stuffing will happen everywhere!

American elections are a sham. Get more votes but still lose? That's not democracy. And how are y'all working on election day? In most countries it's a holiday

The only way Democrats can win is by changing the rules, and that is exactly what they are doing by enforcing universal vote-by-mail without identification. Democrats should be held accountable for their attempts to manipulate our system of checks and balances to their advantage.

I guess this is Karma to the US for all the instigation they have done to the middle east. Now, they have their own domestic war.
