That sounds good in theory, but what if the people have very diverging conceptions of how they want to be governed?

Thank God we're not a democracy.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

(Is the date for election set in the Constitution?)

I think the Senate could go either way even with a Trump loss. But I haven't been paying too much attention.
Back in early February with Bernie leading, that was the best case scenario. Trump was going to win easily (until COVID hit), and Bernie would've helped the GOP as Bernie's name would've helped mute the left side of the ballot. Of course, all of that changed.

There are problems with mail-in ballots and we all know it. They are extremely easy to manipulate and ballot harvest.
Along these lines, how would mail-in ballots even work?
For example, when we traditionally vote at a polling station, at least for me, I'd show ID, they would find my name on the registered voter list, and I would vote. Then the ballots all go somewhere and I hope/trust they are counted accurately.
Whereas for mail-in ballots, would ballots be sent out to only registered voters? How would the folks counting the ballots even know the ballot they received was filled out by the person who's name is on the ballot? Heck, how would the folks counting the ballots know if someone made 1,000 copies of their ballot and sent them all in?

Here they send an official interior envelope with your voter info on it with the ballot.
So you fill out the ballot, put it in the marked envelope, sign it and seal it, then put that in the mailing envelope.
And you sign the ballot too. Someone matches the signature with the one on file from your registration. It’s not that different than voting in person.

I'd be willing to bet with other people's money that if Trump loses he will complain about voter fraud, and will not bow out gracefully, but will whine like a spoilt little baby.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

I'd be willing to be my own money on that.

More likely he will blame it on Covid. I’ll bet you on that as well. 5 to 1 odds. Private message me with the amount.

As a thought experiment, imagine what a Trump concession speech would sound like.
Trick question. Trump will lose but he will be too much of a sore loser to give any "concession speech."

I read somewhere that President Trump used a mail in ballot this past spring to vote in Florida, (and also previous while he was NY resident). He must not think it is too bad.
