Donald Trump can threaten all he wants, but there is nothing he can do. The voting process is in the control of each State.

Trump loves to claim things are illegal without having actual law to back him up. He seems to believe that if he doesn’t like X, X must be illegal.

He can say whatever he wants, but he cannot act outside of the Constitution. Even so he may try to do so, but that is when the Congress can act. They can enact so form of "limiting" Constitution that applies to the President. If he tries to act outside of the limitations, then the Congress can go to the Supreme Court. Even the States can act by going to the Supreme Court. With a decision by the Supreme Court the President (any President) would have to follow it.

FACT: The Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election with the goals of harming the campaign of Hillary Clinton, boosting the candidacy of Donald Trump, and increasing political and social discord in the United States.

Oh I didn't say he 'could' do it..(which he probably can, he seems to be able to do whatever he wants) . I'm saying watch him TRY. & do you think it's OK that he TRIES?

However, they should all be within the context of the Constitution. If he is acting outside of the Constitution, then the Congress should act to with strain him. If there is any doubt then it should go to the Supreme Court.

I guess that pressuring Ukraine to dig up damaging information on one of his main Democratic challengers for the presidency in 2020, Joe Biden, and his son Hunter is ok, no wait he was impeached right?

Smooth move, but not overlooked. I'm aware of the other. I don't need ANOTHER lesson on that. Do YOU think it's ok that he tries? Is this one more thing you'll make excuses for?

What is so bad about having fair elections? Why would anyone fear fair elections? Mail in voting is just ripe for corruption.

We use mail in voting in Canada, as do many other countries.
Not sure why republicans seem to dislike it other than it affords people who are remote or (conveniently) not near a poling stating to vote.

Republicans know that when voting is made easier in any way, the number of non-Republicans who vote goes up.

Trump and Mitch McConnel don't care what laws they abuse.
