WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 2, 2020 - Democrats are contemplating secession and potential civil war as they game out possible scenarios for a closely contested election, according to a report by Ben Smith in a New York Times column Sunday.
The bulk of Smith’s column is devoted to the question of how media will handle Election Night coverage, given that the result may not be known for weeks. Vote-by-mail, which many states have only recently adopted - ostensibly, to prevent the spread of coronavirus in polling places - could lead to an uncertain result.
