bipartisanreport--2020-09-17--Twitter Penalizes Trump Over Mail-In Voting Conspiracy Tweet

Twitter has placed a notice on one of President Donald Trump ’ s Thursday morning tweets .
The original post contained misinformation about mail-in voting , and now , Twitter has placed a link alongside the original text where users can “ learn how mail-in voting is safe and secure , ” it says .
Trump originally claimed that “ Because of the new and unprecedented massive amount of unsolicited ballots which will be sent to “ voters ” , or wherever , this year , the Nov 3rd Election result may NEVER BE ACCURATELY DETERMINED , which is what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ baseless fearmongering .
There is no evidence that the true winner of the election may never be known — but Trump seems to be laying the groundwork for a potential rejection of the results if he loses .
There ’ s more than one level of misinformation in the president ’ s original post .
Trump suggests that sending ballots out to every registered voter in a state is “ unprecedented ” — but it ’ s not .
Before the 2020 cycle , five states had systems in place in which elections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As for his suggestion that ballots might not even be sent to registered voters , there ’ s no systematic evidence for this claim .
Registered voters have their addresses on file with the state , and mail-in ballots will be sent to those addresses .
This concept is not complicated — although Trump has previously claimed that ballots will even be sent to pets .
That claim is laughably ridiculous , and it ’ s amazing that anyone takes the president and his bumbling nonsense seriously at this point .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the true result of the upcoming presidential election may forever be a mystery .
An FBI official said recently that the agency has “ not seen , to date , a coordinated national voter fraud effort during a major election and it would be extraordinarily difficult to change a federal election outcome through this type of model alone , given the range of processes that we need to be affected or compromised by an adversary at the local level.
” It ’ s a comparatively small number of states who are even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voters in the first place , and there are many security checks in place , from signature verification requirements to tying individual ballots to individual voters to regulations against mail-in ballot tampering .

There’s more than one level of misinformation in the president’s original post. Trump suggests that sending ballots out to every registered voter in a state is “unprecedented” — but it’s not. Before the 2020 cycle, five states had systems in place in which elections were conducted almost entirely via the mail. As for his suggestion that ballots might not even be sent to registered voters, there’s no systematic evidence for this claim. Registered voters have their addresses on file with the state, and mail-in ballots will be sent to those addresses. This concept is not complicated — although Trump has previously claimed that ballots will even be sent to pets. That claim is laughably ridiculous, and it’s amazing that anyone takes the president and his bumbling nonsense seriously at this point.
There is no evidence for his fundamental claim that the true result of the upcoming presidential election may forever be a mystery. An FBI official said recently that the agency has “not seen, to date, a coordinated national voter fraud effort during a major election and it would be extraordinarily difficult to change a federal election outcome through this type of model alone, given the range of processes that we need to be affected or compromised by an adversary at the local level.” It’s a comparatively small number of states who are even sending out unsolicited mail-in ballots to registered voters in the first place, and there are many security checks in place, from signature verification requirements to tying individual ballots to individual voters to regulations against mail-in ballot tampering.

Since Donald Trump took office as president , the Trump Organization has charged the Secret Service over $ 1.1 million , according to a running tally maintained by The Washington Post .

For instance , has Mike Pence ever responded to Donald Trump ’ s disparaging of John McCain for having been captured as a prisoner of war ?

Has Pence ever been asked to answer , then , about Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two of which have been revealed since Trump took office ?
For that matter , has Pence ever been asked questions about the women Trump tried to cheat on his wife with non-consensually ?
After all , there are 24 of them and so far , all Trump has said about them is that they have “ no witnesses ” and that they are not his type , anyway .
In other words , they ’ re not the type worth sexual harassment .
Has Pence ever addressed that ?
There are many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of which The Lincoln Project address in their ad , but there ’ s a bigger question that Mike Pence should have to answer : how do you claim to be an evangelical Christian and stand next to Trump every day ?

bipartisanreport--2020-09-18--Trump Declares Democrat Will Execute Babies After Birth

At this point , President Donald Trump is not a credible source for pretty much anything imaginable .
On Friday , which was the first day of early voting in Virginia ( and a handful of other states ) , Trump took to Twitter to insist that the state ’ s residents should vote for him because , he claimed , their Democratic governor supports “ executing babies after birth.
” No , the Virginia governor — whose name is Ralph Northam — does not support “ executing babies.
” It ’ s a sign of the president ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this ludicrous claim in the first place .
‘ Voting starts in Virginia TODAY , and we are going to WIN .
You have a crazy Governor who wants to take away your guns , which he will do without me in office .
He is in favor of executing babies after birth – this isn ’ t late-term abortion , this is a step way beyond !
’ Again — no , Virginia Governor Ralph Northam ( D ) does not support “ executing babies.
” This accusation is absolutely ridiculous , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of unhinged , fact-free nonsense that the president seems to hope his supporters eat right up .
The allegation seems to stem from comments that Northam made in 2019 about then-pending legislation that would have eased some state regulations around late-term abortions .
( The legislation would have kept the requirement for one doctor to conclude that the pregnancy would threaten the mother ’ s health prior to a third-trimester abortion . )
When Northam discussed his support for easing restrictions , he made very clear that he was discussing only serious , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may be a fetus that ’ s nonviable.
” In other words , the fetus may have had to go on some kind of life support , and even that may not have been enough .
Trump ’ s suggestion that Northam ’ s discussion of these sensitive situations in which families have to decide what to do about a fetus who might get stuck on life support or end up not even able to go on it means that he supports “ executing babies ” is absolutely deranged .
Trump ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden does not support seizing guns , even the assault weapons that he wants to restrict .
His particular proposal is to demand that those particular weapons get registered , with a concurrent option for a voluntary “ buyback ” by the government .

At this point, President Donald Trump is not a credible source for pretty much anything imaginable. On Friday, which was the first day of early voting in Virginia (and a handful of other states), Trump took to Twitter to insist that the state’s residents should vote for him because, he claimed, their Democratic governor supports “executing babies after birth.” No, the Virginia governor — whose name is Ralph Northam — does not support “executing babies.” It’s a sign of the president’s outrageous desperation that he’s made this ludicrous claim in the first place.
He tweeted:
‘Voting starts in Virginia TODAY, and we are going to WIN. You have a crazy Governor who wants to take away your guns, which he will do without me in office. He is in favor of executing babies after birth – this isn’t late-term abortion, this is a step way beyond!’
…I’m playing for your guns, and I’m playing for your values. For all the Federal Employees in Virginia, remember, it was me that got you the Federal Pay Raises, not Sleepy Joe Biden. I’ll be having a Big Rally in Virginia, to be announced soon! https://t.co/WwzdPhDkAZ — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 18, 2020
Again — no, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (D) does not support “executing babies.” This accusation is absolutely ridiculous, but it’s exactly the kind of unhinged, fact-free nonsense that the president seems to hope his supporters eat right up.

Trump’s suggestion that Northam’s discussion of these sensitive situations in which families have to decide what to do about a fetus who might get stuck on life support or end up not even able to go on it means that he supports “executing babies” is absolutely deranged.
Trump’s other claims are also riddled with nonsense. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden does not support seizing guns, even the assault weapons that he wants to restrict. His particular proposal is to demand that those particular weapons get registered, with a concurrent option for a voluntary “buyback” by the government.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is not a credible person .
This week , a story dropped from Vanity Fair including the detail that Trump ’ s son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner , who has helped lead the White House ’ s Coronavirus response effort , once dismissively referred to looming suffering and death in New York as “ their problem.
” McEnany promptly rushed to Twitter with a defense of the administration , but it did not hold water , at all .
She claimed that Trump has “ consistently put the health of all Americans first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he has repeatedly publicly insisted that if you take “ blue ” states out of the equation , then the U.S. is doing pretty good .
“ Blue ” state inhabitants , whose health the president sounds ready and willing to dismiss , are among those “ Americans ” !
She is lying .
At a press conference at the White House on Thursday , Trump stated the following , referring to a chart depicting two possible ranges of total death tolls , the lower of which the U.S. is currently in : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this territory .
And that ’ s despite the fact that the blue states had had tremendous death rates .
If you take the blue states out , we ’ re at a level that I don ’ t think anybody in the world would be at .
We ’ re really at a very low level .
But some of the states , they were blue states and blue state-managed.

The truth is clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to totally dismiss the public health crises in “ blue ” states — many of which are the ones that happen to have large individual populations !
— in the name of trying to score a political point .
In other words , McEnany is a liar .

As if he ’ s living in some kind of alternate universe , he claimed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incredible job.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-18--New Friday Swing State Polling Reveals Double-Digit Biden Rout

Another round of new swing state polls have great news for Democrats .
In a selection of polls that were released by Civiqs on Friday , Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had some impressive leads in the key swing states of Michigan , Pennsylvania , and Wisconsin , all of which Donald Trump won in 2016 and which were crucial to his victory at the time .
In the latest Civiqs polling , Biden led by 11 percent in Michigan and by 7 percent in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin , and in every one of the states , he garnered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ above 50 percent .
That level of support bodes well for the stability of his leads — no number of undecided voters can swing a given election to Trump if Biden hits 50.1 percent .
Biden himself was , of course , on the ticket when then-presidential candidate ( and then-President ) Barack Obama won each one of those three states in both 2008 and 2012 .
In 2008 , the Obama-Biden ticket won Michigan against then-challenger John McCain by a whopping over 16 percent .
In the current electoral cycle , FiveThirtyEight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s most likely to deliver the winning margin to the winning presidential candidate .
( Wisconsin and Michigan are also among the top five states most likely to deliver the winning margin to the victor . )
As of Friday , FiveThirtyEight estimates that Biden has an overall 77 percent chance of winning the national election .
Why should Americans want to re-elect Trump in the first place ?
He ’ s sold out the country for his personal benefit .
During the Coronavirus pandemic , he has left Americans to struggle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dropped this week revealed that Trump ’ s son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner had apparently referred to looming suffering and death in New York as “ their problem ” during the early stages of the pandemic .
That ’ s the Trump administration ’ s modus operandi .
On the national level , Biden is currently leading by an average of 6.7 percent , according to FiveThirtyEight .
If Biden is able to nab that high of a lead in the national popular vote , that site ’ s Nate Silver has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent chance of Biden also winning the majority in the electoral college .

Trump 44% — Political Polls (@PpollingNumbers) September 18, 2020
Biden himself was, of course, on the ticket when then-presidential candidate (and then-President) Barack Obama won each one of those three states in both 2008 and 2012. In 2008, the Obama-Biden ticket won Michigan against then-challenger John McCain by a whopping over 16 percent. In the current electoral cycle, FiveThirtyEight estimates that Pennsylvania is the state that’s most likely to deliver the winning margin to the winning presidential candidate. (Wisconsin and Michigan are also among the top five states most likely to deliver the winning margin to the victor.) As of Friday, FiveThirtyEight estimates that Biden has an overall 77 percent chance of winning the national election.
Why should Americans want to re-elect Trump in the first place? He’s sold out the country for his personal benefit. During the Coronavirus pandemic, he has left Americans to struggle. A bombshell Vanity Fair article that dropped this week revealed that Trump’s son-in-law and top adviser Jared Kushner had apparently referred to looming suffering and death in New York as “their problem” during the early stages of the pandemic. That’s the Trump administration’s modus operandi.
On the national level, Biden is currently leading by an average of 6.7 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight. If Biden is able to nab that high of a lead in the national popular vote, that site’s Nate Silver has estimated that there’s a 99 percent chance of Biden also winning the majority in the electoral college.

In Virginia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 elections , Joe Biden is beating Trump in the polls by 14 points while Senator Mark Warner , a Democrat , currently has a 19-point lead over his challenger , Daniel Gade .

The president has railed against mail-in ballots, insisting that they lead to massive numbers of fraudulent votes being cast.

Throughout the 2020 election campaign cycle, President Donald Trump has attacked efforts to expand mail-in voting during a global pandemic as “fraud” and “cheating.” The GOP has backed him up, arguing in court cases that he’s right. However, judge after judge has determined that there is no proof of this, and the latest is in Michigan.
In Michigan, Judge Cynthia Stephens ruled that attempts to restrict the vote in Michigan are unconstitutional. Striking down the GOP argument against it, the judge ruled that every mail-in ballot that is postmarked before Election Day and arriving by the Friday after Election Day must be counted. That’s a decision that could significantly affect the election in 2020.
In the judge’s written decision, it says:
‘The general counsel for the United States Postal Service acknowledged that the law in this state, namely the ballot receipt deadline, posed a significant risk of disenfranchisement because of current mail processing. Given the documented increase in absent ballot requests, the risks of disenfranchisement are projected to rise with respect to the November 2020 general election.’ Further, the judge ruled that voters can choose for themselves who can assist them in casting their ballots during the pandemic. To do otherwise, she said, would potentially disenfranchise voters who need to limit their exposure to others while COVID-19 continues to spread across the country. Twitter celebrated the decision, as well as the many other decisions made by the courts in recent days to protect American’s right to vote. Read some of their comments below:

If the Democrats do not take back the Senate, then Senate Majority Leader “Moscow Mitch” McConnell (R-KY) can virtually hold Biden hostage.
Fortunately, on the same day there was good news from the much-anticipated interactive FiveThirtyEight Senate forecast. It has compiled polls to make its prediction and came out with a slim Democratic takeover of the Senate. In the 2020 election, the site said there were “at least a dozen competitive races.” None were forecast as certain.
The Democrats could be controlling 54 or more seats, but much more likely would be a 50/50 split. Then, as Vice President, Harris would cast the final determining vote.
Fivethirtyeight incorporated its 2018 version, and this time it will be more closely aligned with the presidential forecast. Plus, the uncertainty factor was expected to be higher due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In what it called its “Deluxe version,” the site relied on polls as much as possible. It also incorporated basic factors such as “fundraising, incumbency, and a state’s partisan lean relative to the rest of the country.” Then, it added expert ratings from The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball.
Democrats have a five percent, at minimum, chance of winning. Dems will likely take North Carolina, Arizona, Colorado, and Maine. Their best opportunity was expected to be Arizona with Senator Martha McSally (R-AZ), who was appointed to Senator John McCain’s (R-AZ) seat. Astronaut and husband of former Representative Gabby Giffords (R-AZ), Mark Kelly, won the Democratic primary.
The forecast said that it may be too early to write off Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Senator Susan Collins (R-ME).
Other states that may at play included:
‘[M]any Republican incumbents, such as Sens. Joni Ernst of Iowa, David Perdue of Georgia and Dan Sullivan of Alaska, face some version of this problem, as many of them won by single-digit margins in 2014, a year when Republicans won the popular vote for the U.S. House by about 6 points. But this year, the national environment favors Democrats by 6 or 7 points, so that’s around a 12-point swing, putting Republicans who won by narrow margins last time in the danger zone.’
Then, there were the outliers. Montana has a popular Democratic governor, which could swing the state to the Democrats. Senator Lindsey Graham’s abject submission to Donald Trump has turned many against him in South Carolina. In addition:
‘[T]here is also a second seat open in Georgia, currently held by the appointed incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler. (This special election is unusual, though, in that multiple candidates from both parties will face off on Election Day, and if no one gets a majority, two candidates will move to a runoff in January.)’
Republicans were predicted to be more likely to pick up Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, and New Hampshire.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-18--Trump Snaps & Fires-Off Deranged Friday Morning Tweet Storm

President Donald Trump freaked out on Twitter this Friday morning over what seem to be recently announced plans from Mike Bloomberg for a $ 100 million cash influx to support Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in Florida .
Bloomberg ran an unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination , but he pledged his support to the eventual victor , Biden .
Bloomberg ’ s money will fuel pro-Biden ads across Florida , where the eventual presidential election results could be very close — and Trump is freaking out .
‘ Mini Mike Bloomberg , after making a total fool of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Pocahontas and the Democrats in the Primaries , is at it again .
He tried to buy an Election and went away with a major case of Depression .
Now he ’ s throwing money at the Dems , looking for a job !
’ It ’ s rather crude for Trump to wield a seemingly baseless “ Depression ” allegation as a political weapon , especially considering how he has recently pretended to care about mental health concerns as an excuse for his advocacy against even some of the most basic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coronavirus .
He has suggested that “ lockdowns ” have led to many deaths , insisting that “ you could make the case it ’ s in even greater numbers ” than those who have died from the virus itself .
In reality , if Trump was seriously concerned about these sorts of issues , like isolation-related mental health concerns , then there are many options he could use as a solution .
He could come together with Democrats to finalize a new Coronavirus relief package for Americans .
He has not done @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — he doesn ’ t need a job .
Trump is merely spouting off nonsense — including his self-aggrandizing , racist nickname for Sen. Elizabeth Warren ( D-Mass . )
, “ Pocahontas.
” Bloomberg ’ s money could actually help Biden secure a victory .
FiveThirtyEight estimates that Florida is the second most likely state to deliver a decisive winning margin to the victorious presidential candidate , and they give Biden a 60 percent chance of winning the state .
Here ’ s an ad that might have sent Trump into a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Friday that “ Pelosi wants to take 30 Billion Dollars away from our great Farmers.
” It ’ s not immediately clear what precisely he ’ s talking about — he might be trying to refer to potential Democratic opposition to his bailout program for farmers , who he ’ s sent money after he wrecked their business operations via his disastrous trade war .

In reality, Democrats support tens of billions of dollars in support for farmers — they included it in the HEROES Act, the Coronavirus relief package that the Democrat-led House passed months ago.
Actually, @HouseDemocrats put $30 billion specifically for farmers in the Heroes Act. You should ask @SenateMajLdr what’s up with that. https://t.co/EgSBThcno6 — House Agriculture Committee (@HouseAgDems) September 18, 2020

Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who was the only Republican Senator to vote to convict Trump of either of the charges against him at his impeachment trial, would be another Senator to watch.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-19--Trump Supporters Attempt To Block Early Voters From Entering Polling Site

On Friday , early voting in Virginia opened .
By Saturday , footage emerged of Trump supporters seemingly attempting to physically intimidate voters and block them from a polling place , or at least make a show of trying to .
The apparent attempt at voter intimidation took place in Fairfax County , Virginia , which is in the vicinity of Washington , D.C .
The Trump supporters were physically blocking prospective voters from entering the polling place , so according to a reporter on the scene — Anthony Tilghman — authorities moved the line of voters to inside the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vitriolic that voters can ’ t even cast their ballots in peace if the president ’ s most passionate supporters are around , it seems .
It ’ s worth noting — the pro-Trump demonstrators may have been breaking the law on Saturday .
Under Virginia state law , it ’ s illegal for people to “ loiter or congregate ” within 40 feet of the entrance of a polling place while those polls are open .
To suggest that the petulant Trumpsters were within 40 feet would be an understatement .
Footage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparently right outside the front doors of the polling place .
Check out that footage below : In other footage from the scene , the Trumpsters can be heard chanting “ Four more years !

On Friday, early voting in Virginia opened. By Saturday, footage emerged of Trump supporters seemingly attempting to physically intimidate voters and block them from a polling place, or at least make a show of trying to. The apparent attempt at voter intimidation took place in Fairfax County, Virginia, which is in the vicinity of Washington, D.C. The Trump supporters were physically blocking prospective voters from entering the polling place, so according to a reporter on the scene — Anthony Tilghman — authorities moved the line of voters to inside the building.
The Trump movement is so vitriolic that voters can’t even cast their ballots in peace if the president’s most passionate supporters are around, it seems. It’s worth noting — the pro-Trump demonstrators may have been breaking the law on Saturday. Under Virginia state law, it’s illegal for people to “loiter or congregate” within 40 feet of the entrance of a polling place while those polls are open. To suggest that the petulant Trumpsters were within 40 feet would be an understatement. Footage from the scene shows the pro-Trump crowd apparently right outside the front doors of the polling place.

Saturday was the day after U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away, and one voter cited Ginsburg’s death as an impetus for them to make sure to cast their ballot right away. The voter told NBC/ MSNBC reporter Amanda Golden, who seemed to be at the same polling place that the angry and belligerent Trump supporters eventually showed up at:

bipartisanreport--2020-09-19--Protesters Swarm Mitch McConnell’s House Following RBG Death

More than 100 protesters gathered outside the Louisville home of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky. ) on Saturday .
The protest group gathered the day after McConnell rushed to insist to the world that the Senate would hold a vote on a presumed nominee from President Donald Trump to replace the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg , who passed away on Friday .
McConnnell ’ s insistence that the Senate would vote on whoever Trump eventually nominated flies in the face of the precedent that Senate Republicans set when they refused to hold a vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016 .
At the time , Senate Republicans cited the imminent presidential election as an excuse .
Check out video footage of the protest below : Protesters who gathered in Louisville on Saturday aimed to remind McConnell of his own previous words .
One of the demonstrators held a sign inscribed with a statement from McConnell in 2016 , who insisted at the time that the “ American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice.
” No matter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allies push in coming days and weeks , the fact of the matter is that they are working to deny the opportunity to the American people to finish voting before kickstarting the confirmation of a new Supreme Court Justice .
Americans have already started voting in a handful of states !
Protester Laura Johnsrude insisted the following on Saturday : In addition to the protesters who gathered outside of his home in Kentucky , McConnell faces opposition from other fronts as well .
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-N.Y. ) — who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the front row of a Senate fight over Ginsburg ’ s replacement — posted McConnell ’ s own words on Twitter on Friday evening .
The clincher , of course , is that McConnell no longer seems to care about giving the American people any more of a voice .
In a Saturday call with fellow Democrats , Schumer insisted that “ nothing is off the table ” if McConnell moves forward with replacing Ginsburg .
Options include adding seats to the court , which would require Democratic Senate control .

Protesters who gathered in Louisville on Saturday aimed to remind McConnell of his own previous words. One of the demonstrators held a sign inscribed with a statement from McConnell in 2016, who insisted at the time that the “American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice.” No matter what contorted rhetorical nonsense McConnell and his allies push in coming days and weeks, the fact of the matter is that they are working to deny the opportunity to the American people to finish voting before kickstarting the confirmation of a new Supreme Court Justice.

Protester Laura Johnsrude insisted the following on Saturday:
‘I’m disgusted that Senator McConnell would treat this opportunity in a complete different manner than he treated the opportunity when there was a vacancy when Obama was nine or 10 months away from the election. I’m not surprised, but I am disgusted. I think that’s appalling.’
In addition to the protesters who gathered outside of his home in Kentucky, McConnell faces opposition from other fronts as well. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) — who might be the Democratic leader closest to the front row of a Senate fight over Ginsburg’s replacement — posted McConnell’s own words on Twitter on Friday evening.
Schumer posted:
‘The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.’
The clincher, of course, is that McConnell no longer seems to care about giving the American people any more of a voice. In a Saturday call with fellow Democrats, Schumer insisted that “nothing is off the table” if McConnell moves forward with replacing Ginsburg. Options include adding seats to the court, which would require Democratic Senate control.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-19--Two GOP Governors Defect & Demand No RBG Replacement Pre-Election

Two Republican governors have now publicly broken with the main party line on the replacement of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg , who passed away on Friday .
Although Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ( R-Ky. ) and President Donald Trump have already publicly pushed the idea of rushing the confirmation of a replacement for Ginsburg , two Republican governors — including Charlie Baker of Massachusetts and Phil Scott of Vermont — have publicly insisted that the nomination of a Ginsburg replacement should wait until after the election .
Scott spoke out first .
He said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our children should learn about , Justice Ginsburg .
She was a tireless advocate for justice and equality , and an example for future generations… While it is important to take the time to mourn her passing , we must also follow precedent , as well as her dying wishes , and delay the appointment process until after Inauguration Day.
’ As he references , Ginsburg told her granddaughter in the time shortly before her death that she wished for her seat to only be filled after the next presidential election .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loses the election , it could be an even more profound betrayal of democracy than Trump ’ s behavior might already be .
On Saturday , Baker spoke out .
He said : ‘ The passing of Justice Ginsburg is not only a loss for the court but for the entire nation , and I urge President Trump and the U.S. Senate to allow the American people to cast their ballots for President before a new justice is nominated or confirmed .
The Supreme Court is too important to rush and must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ until after the election would follow the precedent set by Senate Republicans themselves when they refused to confirm then-President Barack Obama ’ s replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016 .
McConnell says that the “ principle ” — which he essentially made up — was that Supreme Court vacancies should not be filled in presidential Election Years if the White House and Senate are controlled by two different parties .
Now that Trump is in the White House , having skirted to a victory despite losing by millions in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ circumstances as an apparent green light to move full speed ahead , despite the fact that Trump ’ s legitimacy seems significantly more tenuous than Obama ’ s was in early 2016 .

bipartisanreport--2020-09-19--Biden Calms Democrats With RBG Replacement Proclamation

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has made his stance following the death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg abundantly clear .
He has now publicly insisted that the Senate should unequivocally wait until after the next presidential election to move forward with the confirmation process for a replacement for Ginsburg .

That ’ s the position the United States Senate must take today .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think the fastest Justice ever confirmed was 47 days and the average is closer to 70 days… that is my hope and expectation of what should happen.

After praising Ginsburg and the work that she did during her long career in public service , the Democratic presidential pick said : ‘ The voters should pick a President , and that President should select a successor to Justice Ginsburg .
This was the position that the Republican Senate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nearly nine months before the election .
