Donald Trump claims America is the only country in the world to use mail-in voting.

He is either clueless, or lying, both of which are equally possible.

More than 35 countries use mail in voting, including all Nordic countries, which are among the healthiest democracies on Earth.

The U.S. is actually a Constitutional Republic

@BrandNewMan Republic basically means representative democracy. It doesn't need to be a direct democracy like ancient Athens to be counted as a democracy. This means electing state representatives as well.

Article 1, section 4 of Constitution says that states determine the place and manner of elections.

Trump, as President, has a duty to uphold the Constitution. Even if he doesn't like mail-in voting, he has no say in the matter. It's up to the states, and those states have no reason to get rid of it given how the overwhelming majority of their constituents trust and approve of mail-in voting.

He just wants a scapegoat so he could undermine election results that don't go his way. Even with all the federal agencies under his control, he still can't release any proof that the 2020 election was rigged

@BrandNewMan I don't think many people took the Trump-Russia thing seriously, but considering Russia had hacked the DNC in order to influence the election right after Trump publicly invited them to look into Hillary, it was definitely worth investigating as a matter of national security.

No other presidential candidate in history had ever asked a foreign government to dig up dirt on their opponent. So the fact openly tried to is highly concerning. I don't think anybody outside of social media basement dwellers said for sure that he colluded.

If Trump or the RNC been hacked instead at the behest of Democrats and had emails leaked by foreign actors, how would you react to our intelligence agencies doing absolutely nothing about it?
