I think you probably have to take the Carolyn Maloney race and run it over again," Trump said, during a relatively subdued White House press conference Monday.
Thousands of mail-in ballots have been invalidated in the contest, and both Republicans and election experts have said the situation could be a harbinger of a disastrous nationwide mail-in vote in November.
"This is a small race, and it's all messed up," Trump said. "It's a mess. Nobody knows what's happening. ... It's a total disaster."

Nearly six weeks later, two congressional races in New York remain undecided amid a deluge of mail-in ballots in what could be a harbinger of problems looming in November. "This election is a canary in the coal mine." ⁦@jessemckinley

Democrat Nicole Cannizzaro claims, "If it was a good enough process for the primary, it should be a good enough process for the general.”

Good?? Hundreds of thousands of ballots were sent to people who had moved, only to pile up in the trash.

41 days, and they still don't know who won.  This has to stop.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Yep. Right there.

Definitely not something we want nationwide in a presidential election.

I can see taking two days to vote (in person), or absentee ballots for those who are afraid to risk voting in person, but mail in ballots for the entire election? No way.

Besides I once got a Christmas check from my Grandmother in June. I am sure she thought me an ingrate for not sending a Thank You note, but by the time I got it the check was no good. I really wouldn't want my vote to sit in some dark corner somewhere....

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
