Trump wants courts to block states from processing ballots after election day? What does that mean on Midnight November 3rd all ballots that are not counted are just tossed out? If I remember correctly Trump won in 2016 by ballots still being counted the next day.
It's not up to him how individual states run their voting systems. He can have an opinion, like the rest of us, but it's irrelevant.
When he says something stupid, I never can decide whether he is actually stupid or he thinks his followers are stupid.
I'll bet 90% of the people agreeing with him wouldn't be able to describe their own state's voting laws without recourse to google. And individual state laws are all over the map, one size does NOT fit all.
Did you think on election night when news media says someone has won the election was the official results? Lot of people think this that is why Trump is attempting to push a narrative that who wins on election night is the winner.
Media competes to be the first to “ project” winners.
Projections are based on county reporting and and exit polls. Most projections are spot on.
One of the better election night spectacles occurred on Fox News in 2012 when the folks in their back room projected an Obama victory. Meagan Kelly announced the Fox News projection and Carl Rove went into major real time denial melt down mode. It was understandable given the “ spainen” Rove was going to have to do to big donors like Adelson/ $100 million Super Pac.
This time, the Adelson’s have $172.7 million on the line.
If you support the process of democracy, then you will want to count all valid ballots submitted to the government by closing time on election day. The fact that the postal service takes days to return a delivered ballot is not the fault of the voter. In WA state, we just count all properly signed ballots post-marked on or before election day. Yes, sometimes it takes a few days to count the results for a tight race.
Does not appear any two states have the same timing/ process for processing mail in ballots.

He has appointed three stooges to the Supreme Court whom he expects to do what he wants. They will.

I have no doubt I Like Beer Kavanaugh can find a “constitutional” reason to stop counting ballots the first time Trump has a lead even if only 3 votes have been counted.
The SCOTUS is not going to overturn the election. That’s what he wants.
It's not just SCOTUS. Unqualified political appointees are now installed in all of the the lower courts where many critical decisions will be made. Between voter suppression and corrupt courts, it will take a landslide election to keep Trump from stealing another term.
