Apologies for not being too well versed in all of this, but what is the ‘major fraud’ that Trump is referring to in regards to the postal voting? What is his argument?

He's trying to claim the Dems are counting votes sent in after polls closed. Which is allowed if they have a post date of 3rd Nov.

He thinks because they are still being counted after election night that they shouldn’t count.

He believes/has been spouting that vote in ballots are rife for tampering with, when actually there inclusion would go largely in the Democrats favour, so he thinks the election should’ve been over once the regular ballots were counted. But he’s also just talking total shite and trying to rig the election himself.

There isn’t one. 
 

Republicans are worried about when and how many absentee ballots are gonna come in after Election Day perfectly legally, especially in Pennsylvania, although it’s increasingly looking likely it won’t matter anyway

Biden has Michigan. The absentee ballots are all in places that will lean blue. He will take the lead in the next hour or so I’m sure.

And his buddy Farage agrees with him...

Not sure he’s recovered from his roasting by Andrew Neil earlier. Needs to fly back and sit in his Farage Garage.

He suggests things like people have been getting two mail in ballots. - When that is untrue, some people might recieve two applications for a ballot but doesn't mean you can receive two ballots. 
Or he is suggesting that people have been throwing away Trump mail votes, when again it is untrue a marginal percentage of votes are thrown away 
He suggests that dead people and fake names can vote, when obviously they have systems against it. 

In all honestly he doesn't even have a marginal claim based in reality that is accurate. Mail in voting is safe as hell, in fact you are more likely to have a mail in ballot rejected because you didn't fill it out properly, suggesting that it may be stricter than other ways of voting. 

No trump is just trying to sow distrust in it, simply because people have to count the votes after the rest of the polls are closed counted. In some states it's because thats how long it takes to count and others it's because republicans have literally ban counting mail in ballots until election day

You just know it's going to happen.

Biden apparently on course to receive the most votes ever for a candidate. 

[Ryan1984]

If we forget about all the surrounding nonsense, it’s extraordinary just how many US citizens have voted. Huge numbers.

that bit about "as we well know on our side of the pond" about postal votes is Trump style madness. Presumably he's talking about the left, so for a start the last two big votes have gone his way so what's he saying, that without "postal fraud" Brexit would've been a bigger margin in his favour? That Tories would've got an even bigger majority? Wish he'd asked him about that comment...

I was pretty tired but I think Farage said in the UK there were instances of minorities, etc been 'persuaded' to vote using postal votes in various elections. Something along those lines.

He definitely got in a dig at Labour and didn’t like it when Neil said it helped him get his beloved Brexit.

Nasty toad of a man.

[Matt42]

Bidens about to lead the country with 2 more electoral votes than Trump.

This is going to be messy.

[squirrelarmy]

Wisconsin looking like it’s going Bidens way. 
 

CNN is great for keeping anxiety down for those panicking.

Biden by the absolute most thinnest hair. If trump loses the election due to a .0X% of a vote it’s going to send his following into overdrive

[st dan]

Thanks everyone for your responses. Thought I was missing something but clearly not, the man is a loon!! How is he allowed to keep acting like this ... the mind boggles.
