US President, Donald Trump calls for delaying 2020 election, citing possible mail-in voting fraud despite little evidence.
The US president suggested in a tweet on Thursday that the election should be postponed from November “until people can properly, securely and safely vote”.
He wrote: “With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history.
Only US Congress can change the date for the presidential election as the US Constitution gives Congress authority to set the date.
President Trump has increasingly sought to cast doubt on November’s election and the expected surge in postal and absentee voting as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
