    All voting is open to abuse. All you need to know is a name and address and you can steal someone else’s vote. No ID checks or anything over here

    Actually I agree with Trump. Any State that hasn’t declared by now, then it is too late.
    They shouldn’t wait for these postal votes!
    So on that basis Biden has won. :)

    What exactly are the risks / issues with postal voting? What makes them more susceptible to fraud, other than the fact that they may not be delivered in time?

    What's to stop one member of a family filling the postal votes in I believe there was a claim that was made in areas of Bradford in the past, what's to stop it.

    Simply that one person can collect them all in from more vulnerable people that don't participate in voting as a rule and vote for their own preference in bulk...

    Maybe they do it different in the States, if they don't it's quite open to abuse, and seeing some of those on the streets supporting both candidates I wouldn't put anything past them.

    What is to stop people going in person to a Polling station and claiming to be someone else? They ask you if you have the slip/know your number, but it isn’t compulsory. In certain parts of the country the dead have voted!

    One Of Trumps Lawyers claimed one box of 18000 votes when opened were all for Biden with not one Trump vote among them :) Must have learned from the Bradford method lol

    Very true there will always be unscrupulous people who want to cheat, maybe a way around that is for the individual voting takes their voting card you receive through the post (if your entitled to vote) unless you show it at the polling booth you don't get a vote, the onus is then passed back to the individual wanting to vote, I would assume that was the original reason for posting the individuals voting card through your letterbox as part of proof of who you were ?.

    Can we just rejoice in his losing?

    Gloating is poor form but just the sight of his kid standing outside some random government building saying "it's not fair" and stamping his feet like a small boy was hilarious.

    But then the lawyer of a global real estate businessman making out that his client was on the side of the regular guy and the other side didn't care about the working man was particularly annoying.

    Watch this space on Deutsche Bank (who loaned Trump a couple of billion dollars for his real estate business) and how they will call default on his debts. I think Trump is DB's biggest creditor and they are involved in some of the biggest projects in the world. They held off whilst he was the Prez but he'll soon be losing that protection. One of the many reason why he will be digging in to protect his position.
