I know- stupid question.

Obviously, the Trump campaign (like the Bush 2000 campaign, which even fought to exclude military votes for Gore in Florida while trying to include dubious votes for Bush) will argue that every absentee ballot for Joe Biden is fraudulent and manipulated, but every vote for Trump is genuine and should be counted. In other words, like everything else he says, it will be inconsistent, slanted, and for his own advantage.

The Republicans can't even come up with a consistent principle. (For example, 4 years ago, they argued that an outgoing president shouldn't get to fill a seat on the Supreme Court. Now, they can't fill the seat fast enough.) Basically, what I'm saying here is, they have no principles. Power is what they want, for the sake of being in power.
