With 55 days to Election Day 2020, here's the news that you'll want to know:

(1) how to "prevent a disaster" with voting by mail in the 2020 election

(2) liberal groups predict "massive unrest" unless Biden wins in a "landslide"

(3) President Trump nominated for Nobel Prize for historic peace deal

How to "prevent a disaster" with voting by mail in the 2020 election.

"Accepting a 4 percent failure rate for election mail is unacceptable, and the USPS must make the changes necessary to ensure 100 percent on-time delivery and processing of such pivotal things as election ballots." (The Federalist)

• What's happening: The 2020 presidential election will likely see a huge increase in voting by mail. The Georgia primary, for example, saw 50% of voters request an absentee ballot instead of the normal 5% average.

But every day seems to bring a new story of the challenges and/or lawsuits with voting rules, voting procedures, or the simple logistical concerns of getting mail ballots to and from voters on time.

Experienced conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell laid out the challenges that the U.S. Postal Service must solve right now -- and how to do it. Read her full piece at The Federalist; it's well worth your time.

And here are the challenges she highlighted:

(1) USPS must deliver on time -- Right now, the U.S. Postal Service goal is to deliver 96% of election mail (i.e. ballots) in a "timely fashion," but the worst-performing hub delivered just 84.2% of election mail on time.

The cause? As The Federalist reports, "lack of proper management, training, coordination with election officials regarding ballot and envelope design, and failure to prepare for and develop proper processing and tracking systems for peak season volume."

(2) ballots must not be lost -- The Federalist highlights a 2018 report that found "almost one-third" of ballots sent by mail were "undeliverable, spoiled, voted/surrendered by the voters on or before Election Day, or were otherwise unaccounted for."

Read the full piece for her smart solutions.

• What's at stake: Aside from concerns about intentional voter fraud -- which President Trump and Republicans have consistently highlighted -- there are real logistical concerns with the increased voting by mail in November.

-- A CBS investigation this summer simulated a small-scale mail-in election ... and found major issues. Watch their report here.

-- In Georgia, almost 3,000 voters filed complaints because their absentee ballots weren't delivered for the August primary. A local news station got a photo that "showed some of the ballots still inside a post office Aug. 12 – the day after the runoffs – meaning the undelivered ballots were no longer usable by voters if they eventually received them."

The two goals to keep in mind:

(1) Americans must be able to vote. Period. That's first and foremost for a reason.

(2) The more error-free the voting process, the more quickly ballot counts will likely go.

Many political analysts anticipate we'll end up in a recount in one or more states -- and that could mean we're back in Florida 2000, except in far more states.

Remember: the Biden campaign has a team of 600 lawyers ready to go, and the Republican National Committee doubled its legal budget. As if nearly everything else in 2020, the presidential election results tallying likely won't follow the course of a normal year.

Liberal groups go off the rails with election simulation: predict "mass unrest" unless Biden wins in a landslide.

"Left-leaning activism powerhouse MoveOn.org, along with some of the nation’s largest teachers’ unions, are warning Democrats of 'mass unrest' and possible 'right-wing violence' if President Donald Trump loses the presidential election to former Vice President Joe Biden in November, even going so far as to issue a memo to Democrat groups with suggestions on how to counter or protect themselves from violence." (Daily Wire)

• What's happening: The Democratic conspiracy theories seem to have totally gone off the rails -- and that's unfortunate for all Americans.

Weeks after Hillary Clinton warned Democrats that President Trump might not leave office if he loses the 2020 election, a handful of Democratic groups ran through their own post-election simulations.

Simulations like this are often done to model what might happen in uncertain scenarios. But the liberal groups' post-election simulation clearly derailed with far-fetched assumptions about President Trump, Republicans, and many of their fellow Americans. (The Daily Beast has the full write-up of the simulation here.)

And the liberal groups' unsurprising conclusion, given their political agenda: "Only a 'landslide for Joe Biden' would result in 'a relatively orderly transfer of power.'"

• What's at stake: First, and foremost, all Americans must be able to vote and trust in a free, fair voting process. The hyper-politicization and increasingly hysterical conspiracy theories of the left don't help; in fact, they undermine what the left claims they want to preserve.

But there are three unique elements at play in the presidential election this year:

(1) Due to COVID-19, there have been substantial changes to voting procedures. Right now, according to law professor Justin Levitt, there are more than 230 cases in 44 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

(2) We're unlikely to know the results on Election Day. Given the substantial increase expected with mail-in and absentee voting, results will likely be delayed as states process and tally the mail.

In August, Federal Election Commissioner Ellen Weintraub warned there's a "substantial chance" Americans won't know who won the election the night of November 3rd, as we'd normally expect.

(3) We're highly likely to see legal challenges. This is a combination of very close vote margins in battleground states and the changed voting procedures.

As The Vote has highlighted before (and in the story above!), the Biden campaign has a team of 600 lawyers and the Republican National Committee doubled its legal budget. We presume that means they're anticipating court battles, too.

All of these factors combined suggest there will be uncertainty about the election winner for some time ... and that's why all politicians must keep cool the best interest of the country in mind.

Instead, politicians on the left have made outrageous statements in recent weeks -- from Hillary Clinton telling Joe Biden not to concede "under any circumstances" to Nancy Pelosi calling President Trump and Republicans "domestic enemies" -- with zero accountability from the media.

President Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for historic diplomatic agreement.

"Last month, the Trump administration pulled off a massive deal between Israel and The United Arab Emirates in which the latter recognized the former and commercial air flights between the two began for the first time ever." (The Federalist)

• What's happening: The mainstream media didn't cover it, but this summer, President Trump brokered an historic agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Both countries will meet at the White House next week to sign the agreement.

Under the terms of the Trump-Administration-brokered deal, Israel and the UAE will normalize the relations between the two countries. Predictably, the New York Times opinion page already called the first direct flight between the two countries, thanks to the deal, "nothing to celebrate."

• What's at stake: Domestic policy -- with a focus on COVID-19, the economy, and healthcare -- has dominated the 2020 presidential election so far.

But this deal is a significant foreign policy accomplishment for the Trump Administration, and it's been totally downplayed by the media. We'd bet that more Americans will learn about this deal today due to President Trump's Nobel Prize nomination than heard about it previously from news coverage.

It's unlikely that a single foreign policy negotiation will have a major impact on voters' preferences ahead of November. To us, though, the story shows a deeper theme.

At the Republican National Convention, President Trump and his party highlighted his policy agenda; in contrast, Joe Biden and Democrats avoided much in the way of policy specifics. We expect that difference to re-emerge in just under three weeks at the first presidential debate on September 29.
