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???

Context
“Mark my words: I think [Trump] is going to try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can’t be held. [It’s] the only way he thinks he can possibly win.”

Biden predicts Trump will try to delay November election
retrieved 7/30/20
This morning, the Trump Campaign is responding:
“Those are the incoherent, conspiracy theory ramblings of a lost candidate who is out of touch with reality. President Trump has been clear that the election will happen on November 3rd.” – @TimMurtaugh Comms Director— Ryan Nobles (@ryanobles) April 24, 2020
Over 3 weeks ago, President Trump said, "The general election will happen on November 3rd."
Joe Biden's conspiracy theory is irresponsible and has no basis in reality. https://t.co/y1M0mKKq4o
