No Election in November?

[Mystic Wanderer]

President Trump did the ultimate troll on the media this morning when he tweeted out the following:

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

All the MSM and Twitter was set on fire with tweets and articles from the Left losing their minds.  
"He can't do this!"  "There it is, he's going to become the dictator, just as we said!" 

Blah, blah, blah.    

Tim Cast was quick to follow with a Twitter post telling them the President absolutely CAN do this:

This was written in 2007 about Directive 51 Specifically questioning the legal authority of ED51 and the President's ability to postpone elections due to a catastrophe https://slate.com/human-interest

According to Directive 51, the POTUS has every right to postpone anything government-related if it poses a threat to the public. I'd say this "pandemic" would qualify.
He also needs to make sure the people get a fair and just outcome/count from the election, and mail-in voting makes it too easy to cheat. 

This is just typical trolling by Trump.

 Calm down. 

He probably just needed to keep the media busy while they go out and do some business for America without having them there to twist the narrative.

Congress determines when elections are held. I suspect Nov. 3rd will be the date.   This year. Much to the chagrin of the President.

That Directive 51 link seems to say otherwise.

Regardless, I think this is President Trump's way of giving the media some hysteria to talk about while other things are going on in the background.
