I don't see how any foreign interference in this election would make any difference just by looking at the current polls. Russia would need to come up with some serious dirt on Biden for him to lose or somehow rig the polling stations. I honestly think this "foreign interference" threat is way overblown. Besides, the US has been meddling in other country's elections for decades. Whats a few fake Facebook stories going to do?

there are fresh signs that the nation’s electoral system is again under attack from foreign adversaries.

'AGAIN under attack.'

Only the far right (US and 'foreign') and other hardcore Trump supporters like those in the Republican rapid response team (especially those who dismiss Russian interference saying things like 'muh Russia') will continue to deny Russia 'meddles' in US political affairs to help Trump and his Republicans. Maybe they can explain why Russia would do so. I think Russia, probably China, too, want to see Trump remain 'president' knowing the longer he is in office the weaker the US becomes.

Are Chinese or Russians living in America and with voting rights allowed to vote? Is that foreign interference?

If they have US citizenship they can vote. Votes cast by American citizens of Chinese or Russian ethnic background are not "foreign interference".

Funny, but the Dems aren’t worried about the Chinese who are the REAL threat to our democracy and who are interfering in our elections. None of the lame stream media is talking about the mysterious seeds China sent us (as if that’s a normal thing) they hum and moan about the President wanting to block “TikTok” and rightfully so given China’s constant attempt to undermine our electoral system. Biden is nowhere near up for the job and now because he’s not, they’re contemplating if he should debate Trump or not because the Dems know it’s in an uncontrolled environment and they don’t know what Biden will say. The Dems suggesting Biden doesn’t need to debate is as bad as Trump wanting to delay the election. Neither will happen.

There would still be time to save the November elections, if Trump were promptly impeached once and for all, a second time. This would also be the last chance for the reprehensible Republicans to show their "patriotism" and "love of country" by dumping the disastrous Trump before he leads them into the trap of a total election wipeout in Moscow Mitch's "Last Stand on the Potomac".

That would be stupid as there is nothing to impeach the guy on, they tried the Russian collusion delusion theory as well as impeachment and both backfired and we don’t impeach a person just because one party hates another party’s President. Sure, I want Hillary behind bars, but we need to think reality here for a moment....

They love their country, they have all been speaking out about the chaos and violence and the dismantling of the culture and the toppling of statues and the defunding of the police and the rioters trying to destroy federal buildings, banning the national anthem, burning the American flag and about the reverse racism and canceling toxic culture that we now live in and not one Democrat spoke out about it, not one. No Republican is doing this and their definitely not anti-American. The GOP is not the problem.

Trump was right, Ukraine needs to be investigated.

yet AG Barr clearly stated he wouldn't open investigation in political opponent as long as there is no concrete evidence, do you thing a US court will accept evidence from a foreigner with foreign political influence, yeah seems like Trumps being feeding too many people nothing burgers. Trump supporters are desperate for something anything, meanwhile there is 3 months to the election how much more dirt and scandle do you think Trump will be exposed to by then lol, this is going to get interesting.
