Will the U. S. Vote End Up Being a Replay in Outline of Election 2000?

Mid-Night:

 Allan Nairn on Democracy Now! is raising serious issues about the vote situation as it stands at this hour in America.  It is beginning to seem possible, if not likely, that the announcement of a victor in this year's election will be delayed, perhaps by days, if not more.  It is still too early at midnight Eastern time in the U.S. to say exactly what is going to happen.  But as Nairn points out, if the United States were a true democracy both parties would have already admitted the obvious which is a majority of the voters have voted for the Democratic candidate, just as they did four years ago.  

Admittedly, the announced numbers are not complete.  But this may actually be part of the problem.  For Nairn is alleging that Trump saw that Democrats were going to emphasize vote-by-mail and thus he could turn the U.S. Postal Service into a vote-suppression operation.  We have already seen evidence of this.  Even just on Tuesday, the Postal Service has defied a court order to sweep their offices in ten problem locations for undelivered ballots.  And there is more.

He further asserts that it is not hard to see the Republicans readying their attorneys to flood into courts in various places to try to contest votes, especially those made via the mail.  

Your Musical Patriot, while not privy to OML's thinking, knew that relying on the mail for his vote was not a good idea.  Thus, he made his vote early, but in person.
