OPINION:
With universal mail-in voting and additional weakening of our election laws, there is no way we will know who has won the presidential election the night of Election Day. There will be delays, challenges and lawsuits galore, and all of this could mean months of delay. Trump will be president for the roughly two months following Election Day. The political left will, of course, accuse him of “stealing” the election. If there is no declared winner by Jan. 20, 2021, Nancy Pelosi, as speaker of the House, will automatically become interim president. These events will lead to a constitutional crisis, be historically unprecedented and tear this country apart.
This, along with the chaos on our streets, will put us in a weakened condition. Has anyone noticed the recent Chinese and Russian provocative military probes? They are examining our weaknesses, like all good predators. This is no series of coincidences. Think carefully about the candidate for whom you vote.
