If Donald Trump is ahead on Election Night even with a majority of the vote uncounted, look out
How big a Biden win will it take to convince Trump he should go away quietly? Photo: Sean Rayford/Alex Wong/Getty Images Like any candidate for any office, Joe Biden would obviously love to win big in this year’s presidential election. It would be good for his ego, good for his party , and good for the political capital he could amass upon taking office.
Trump is now regularly claiming that voting by mail is inherently illegitimate, except for grudging exceptions for people who can’t make it to the polls. So, presumably, states that allow for no-excuse voting by mail in November are holding “substantially fraudulent” elections. That’s 34 states who do so by law , 11 more that so far are waiving excuse requirements this pandemic year , and another that may be forced to do so by a lawsuit .
Anyone doubting this is a plausible scenario needs to look back to 2018, when Republican congressional leaders Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy made specious claims of voter fraud when late-arriving mail ballots predictably shifted the results in key House races in California. It could have been a dress rehearsal for what might happen this November.
