How much confidence will you have in the 2020 election results?

In the news (such as it is): Mail dumping in multiple states. Ballots mailed without signature blocks in Utah. More than 2 million registered voters who don't exist (dead, moved, etc.) Ballot harvesting legal and illegal. Voter intimidation being recorded everywhere. Here's your chance to vote on the vote...

I love how both sides claim the other side is the only one doing this stuff and is at fault. Both sides play a role in the election screw-ups, but yet blame it all on the other side. That's the problem with the two-party system. We've conditioned ourselves to believe that there are only two parties and feel like we only have two choices. There aren't enough people in this country who can think for themselves and simply vote for someone based on the (R) or (D) next to their name. Both political parties and all form of media have the people of this country played like fools.

Both parties are guilty of some of that. However, the things you have mentioned have already been found out. Actual voter fraud is miniscule. I don't believe the propaganda that widespread voter fraud is being conducted.

Are our elections perfect? No. Are they completely corrupt? No. I have faith in the system that has worked for us for 200+ years.

Given the fact that at least once a week you see a news story about mail in ballots being found discarded in dumpsters, I have zero confidence in the outcome of this election.

To many last minute (less than six months) changes influenced by what state level politicians coached by the national party leaders feel will give their party an advantage. Local election boards scrambling to enact state changes influenced by court decisions.
Although the incidence of individuals attempting to defraud the system is probably microscopic, I feel parties are trying to manipulate the system and effect the outcome through those manipulations: extensions of counting, postmarks, ballot harvesting, etc.
It may be my age, but I've never liked early voting. I feel anyone voting early is probably just voting a party without gaining all the information available up to the election date.

I am more concerned with the radicals of the losing side.

I hope it is valid for the sake of our democracy. If the vote is overwhelming that will go a long way

I'm not very confident this election will be clean, however I'm more worried about the civil outcome then who is dually elected.
