WASHINGTON - Former US vice-president Al Gore on Tuesday accused President Donald Trump of trying to"put his knee on the neck of democracy" by undermining mail-in voting and sowing doubts, without evidence, about the integrity of the Nov 3 election.
Gore said Americans must be prepared for vote tallies that take days to complete after Election Day, and that the candidate who appears to be winning in initial results may end up losing once all the ballots are counted. "It seemed to me that respect for the rule of law and respect for the needs of American democracy were the orders of the day."
We are acting 'immorally, unethically and self-destructively': Al Gore US Secret Service and other military and security forces would answer to the new president as of that date, Gore added. US Postmaster-General Louis DeJoy, a Trump ally and campaign donor, told Congress he has made Postal Service changes to lower costs, not to disrupt mail-in voting.
