More than half of Republican voters would support postponing the 2020 election to “make sure that only eligible American citizens can vote,” according to a poll published Thursday by the Washington Post.

Fifty-two percent of survey respondents said they would support postponing the 2020 election if President Donald Trump called for it, and 56 percent of respondents said they would back such a proposal if both Trump and Congress called for it.

According to the survey, 73 percent of Republicans believe that voter fraud — which is extremely rare — happens somewhat or very often.

The poll was conducted from June 5–20 from a sample of 1,325 Americans and focused on 650 respondents who “identify with or lean toward the Republican Party.”

Trump’s bogus voter fraud commission ran into turbulence in June after requesting sensitive voter information from all 50 secretaries of state. A laundry list of states responded by refusing to comply with the request — one said he would tell the commission to “go jump in the Gulf of Mexico” — and in July, the panel saw its first resignation.

1. They really are deplorable human beings.

2. they know that cheetolini is toxic

and that they are going to lose the House... and right now Pelosi comes back to be Speaker (probably) and that Trump / Pence could be under arrest for an array of crimes and would have to be impeached.

President Pelosi? That probably scares the holy shit out of them (it really shouldn't, she isn't the left's version of Trump).

3. When they were saying Obama was going to do it, it was a bad thing. Somehow it's good now?

4. Deranged in the sense that they only care about being in power.

They would start a revolution if Obama had done this but they have no qualms if their current Idiot-in-Chief were to do this.

5. The GOP has been shrinking from a while. Back during W's time in office, Rove's bean-counting games

aimed repeatedly to bring ever-more-extreme voters into the GOP tent, which had the effect of gradually driving more moderate voters from the party. The result today is a much larger block conservatives among independents, leaving a much more extreme GOP

6. Trump at one of his campaign...

Rallies before the election made a comment about why even have the election. Just skip the election and make him President...the crowd cheered the comment. So it is no surprise that a majority of republicans support postponing 2020...they probably would support just canceling it altogether...so long as they hold the majority in both chambers and the executive.
