High Voter Turnout?

There is mention that the 2020 presidential election
could have the highest voter turnout since 1908.

Very interesting, indeed.
I hope it's true, but I have my doubts.

If it turns out to be the case, there is little to complain about.
The people will have spoken. Like it, or not.

You mean "the people" haven't spoken in any presidential election since 1908?

Remember Clinton was elected with less than 25% of the eligible voters voting for him

In 1860 Abraham Lincoln did not receive a majority of the popular vote.

I'll suspect cheating if it goes over 60% of registered voters.

Don't have to suspect cheating.

There WILL be cheating on a MASSIVE scale...simply due to the absolute devotion, dedication and basically life-affirming basis on which people have made it their life's work to unseat Trump by any means possible as fast as possible.

I'd actually like to know who oversees the people who decide the eligibility of mail-in ballots.

That's for starters.

How easy is it for someone to just say "oh well, this Biden or Trump voter appears to be ineligible to vote...into the garbage it goes..."

Ross Perot got around 19%, handed the election to Clinton.

Pennslyvania just moved the goalposts, allowing vote counting until three days after the election, and changing the rules regarding signatures on mail in ballots. Now, under the new law that Wolf pushed through, the signature on a mail in ballot does not have to match the one on file. Ballots can't be discarded due to signatures.

Democrats are worried. Obama is going to be traveling with Biden on his final push.

There were 4 candidates that year. It would have been very difficult to get a majority of the votes.


Lincoln, Breckenridge, John Bell & Stephen Douglas

This is one of the more stupid things you (or anyone else) have uttered on this website.
