A record turnout is emerging in the United States. Republicans are using legal means to prevent hundreds of thousands of votes cast in advance from being counted. Meanwhile, President Trump swears his supporters to chaotic weeks. US President Donald Trump has advised his supporters that they may have to wait several weeks for a result of the election next Tuesday. “The whole world and our country will wait and wait and wait to find out who won, you will wait for weeks,” said Trump on Saturday during a performance in Newton, Pennsylvania. “November 3rd will come and go and we won’t know. And you will have chaos in our country.”

Trump did not refer this warning to riots in the streets, but to the counting of postal votes. The Republicans tried to prevent the extension of a deadline for counting election papers in Pennsylvania, but their attempt failed. Postal voting documents with a timely postmark must still be counted, even if they arrive three days after the election date on November 3rd. In a close race between Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden, the result in Pennsylvania could count – and neither the Republicans nor the Democrats can count on a majority in the “Swing State”. Trump accused the Supreme Court in Washington of having made a “terrible, political, terrible decision” with regard to the postal voting deadline. He warned that “very bad things” and “dangerous” things could happen while ballot papers were being tallied. Trump failed to provide more detailed explanations and evidence for his claim. For months, the president has been campaigning against postal voting, which experience shows that more Democratic voters than Republican supporters use to cast their votes. Meanwhile, in the hard-fought US state of Texas, a legal battle is looming over the validity of around 100,000 votes that have already been cast in a so-called drive-through vote. A federal judge in Texas scheduled an emergency hearing Monday on whether the Houston authorities illegally allowed the vote. Voters can throw their ballot papers into the appropriate urns from the car. In Harris County, one of the largest electoral districts in the country with 4.7 million people, ten such drive-through polling stations have been set up because of the corona pandemic. The conservative activist Steve Hotze and the Republican MP in Texas, Steve Toth, among others, had sued.

They accuse Harris County officials of having exceeded their constitutional authority. They are calling on federal judge Andrew Hanen to “reject all votes that they believe have violated Texas electoral law.” Hanen was appointed by then Republican President George W. Bush. The request was “completely unreasonable,” it said from the Democratic camp. “Plaintiffs are asking this court to wreak havoc on the Texas election by invalidating the votes of more than 100,000 eligible Texan voters,” it said.
