United States President <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/donald-trump-all" target="_blank">Donald Trump</a> is for the first time floating a &lsquo;delay&rsquo; to November's presidential election, as he makes unsubstantiated allegations that increased mail-in voting will result in fraud.
The dates of federal elections are set by Congress, and the Constitution makes no provisions for a delay to the January 20, 2021 presidential inauguration.
Trump tweeted Thursday: &ldquo;With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE &amp; FRAUDULENT Election in history.&rdquo;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Mail-In Voting is already proving to be a catastrophic disaster. Even testing areas are way off. The Dems talk of foreign influence in voting, but they know that Mail-In Voting is an easy way for foreign countries to enter the race. Even beyond that, there&rsquo;s no accurate count!

Major China Virus flare ups in many of the countries that the Fake News was touting as doing so well. Some of these countries are now a disaster. Lamestream Media doesn&rsquo;t want to report this. Also, highly inaccurate numbers being reported by many other countries!!! <a href="https://twitter.com/WSJ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WSJ</a>

&ldquo;It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???&rdquo; he said in another tweet.

Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon, isn&rsquo;t doing her job. She must clear out, and in some cases arrest, the Anarchists &amp; Agitators in Portland. If she can&rsquo;t do it, the Federal Government will do it for her. We will not be leaving until there is safety!

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud through mail-in voting, even in states with all-mail votes.
