Many Americans say it would be 'inappropriate' for either party to dispute election. A majority of Americans say they would find it inappropriate if the November election's outcome was disputed in a variety of ways, a new study released Monday finds. About two-thirds of Americans (67%) believe it would be inappropriate if President Donald Trump loses but refuses to leave office because he claims he has credible evidence of illegal voting, according to a report from the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group. Over the past several weeks, Trump has claimed, without evidence, that the election is rigged, specifically taking aim at the many states looking to expand mail-in voting due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many experts have disputed his claim. Source 1d.

President Trump announces the Jacksonville portion of the Republican National Convention will be canceled due to the coronavirus. Convention delegates will still gather in North Carolina and formally nominate Trump for re-election. Trump said that he would hold a speech of some kind to formally accept his party's nomination for president. The move is a significant blow to the campaign, which had hoped to use the convention to reset his presidential campaign. Ref. USAToday.
Well, that's what you get when you dance with the devil… in the end nothing goes your way. You have a pandemic, economy going down the tubes and no convention.
