Is This A Good Tactic By Trump?

If he keeps banging on about this, won't it just put his people off turning out if they think there is no point?
Admittedly he said the same thing last time, if less stridently, and won, but last time things were a lot closer.

Makes you wonder why Trump keeps pretending absentee voting and mail-in voting are different things, makes you wonder why he's against expanding the ability to vote amidst a pandemic that might put people off turning up in person; and makes you wonder why mail-in voting, which has existed in the US since the Civil War, is only now a problem for Trump and...

I watched about 20 minutes of this guy's ramblings, last night, Ich, and he was creating scenarios where it would be likely (not just possible) that those with no intention of voting would gladly give their ballot papers to anyone who knocks on the door and asks for them! Maybe he is trying a little reverse psychology; make his followers believe his lies in order to get them off their butts and into the polling booths?
OG; he called it 'harvesting'. The ballot papers would then be used to vote for the Democrats. And, as he pointed out more than once, there are 80M of these postal votes being sent out, the majority in Democrat heartlands. He also told his followers that the result of the election may not be known for "days, months...years. Maybe never"!!
He's said that the only way the republicans can lose the election is if it's rigged.

That implies he'll refuse to accept the result as a valid one if they lose. Whether that refusal translates to attempting to use his power to get it declared null and physically refusing to leave, is another question. It may just mean that he spends the rest of his life moaning about it on Twitter.
We'll see. He may yet win.

I don't think Trump has ever explicitly said that he'll refuse to accept defeat -- but on the other hand it's logically impossible for him to do anything else. If you refer repeatedly to the election as "rigged", "fraudulent" and "corrupt", then it stands to reason that you cannot accept defeat as legitimate.

There are redux-artists in many places.

"each state governs its own election rules. So no one is actually talking about universal mail-in voting for the entire country...
...Trump will probably cast his presidential vote absentee in Florida. We know this because he voted, absentee, and in the Florida congressional primary on Tuesday."
https:/
A new Amendment to their Constitution would be necessary to mandate mail-in voting for the entire country. (a very difficult and time consuming process)
Absentee voting and mail-in voting both require signature verification ( as in UK postal vote)
jim360, seems you think it is "logically impossible" to *not* do something you have never explicitly said you *would* do ??
