Biden says he believes President Trump will try and delay the November election.
An 1845 law sets the date for states to appoint presidential electors,"which represents the date by which voters in every state must cast their ballot," and nothing in the Constitution or by Congress grants the president the power to postpone an election,"During previous episodes of war, pandemic, or other deadly crises in American history, the presidential election date has never been changed in response to an emergency," the research service said.
"Mail ballots — they cheat. OK? People cheat," the president said earlier this month, adding"there's a lot of dishonesty going along with mail-in voting."

Biden has in the past said that the election must not be postponed. Some states have postponed primary elections amid the coronavirus epidemic.
