Slightly more than half of Republicans say they would support postponing the 2020 presidential election if President Trump proposed it to make sure only eligible American citizens can vote, according to a new survey.

According to a poll published by The Washington Post, 52 percent of Republicans said they would back a postponement of the next election if Trump called for it.

If Trump and congressional Republicans proposed postponing the election to ensure only eligible citizens could vote, support from Republicans rises to 56 percent.

Pollsters found 47 percent of Republicans think Trump won the popular vote.

6. do an internet search on D people you know have passed away name in quotes & a (D) comes up by name

noticed the (D) this year for my Mom and Dads names, both were registered voters & never missed an election.- they passed away years ago. listed with BD, and an ancient "EV1" (old dial up service) email address.

Apparently someone rakes through old registered voter lists.

12. Majority of Democrats want third term for Obama

A strong majority of Democrats would cancel the 2016 presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump if it meant President Obama could serve another term, a new poll found.

Half of Republicans can vote in Nov 2020, half can delay until Dec.
