Polling places, limited capacity due to the pandemic and allegations about balance being lost and stolen. And as of last night, questions about what happens if one or more candidates is incapacitated. But its important to us to remember that only three days ago, led to any of us seems like months ago. The president once again alleged to a National Audience and with no evidence that the voting leads to fraud. He also refused to say that he will access the results of the election. Except.
