Presidential Election Will Resemble ‘A Dumpster Fire,’ Vince Coglianese Tells Tucker Carlson

Broadcaster and Daily Caller editor Vince Coglianese warned Thursday that the upcoming 2020 presidential election will resemble “a dumpster fire” due to disputed results.

“This one is not hard to predict at all. This election day is setting up to be a dumpster fire and an unquenchable one actually,” Coglianese told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

“A lot of people think back to the chaos of the 2000 election … thinking, ‘boy, I hope that never happens again.’ I’m sorry, that is a maskless walk in the park compared to what we’re about to experience.” (RELATED: Trump ‘Doesn’t Plan To Have Fair And Unfettered Election … Plans To Install Himself In Some Emergency Way,’ Says Rep. Clyburn)

“This year, experts predict upwards of 156 million Americans will cast a ballot in the presidential election … and some 80 million of those will be cast by mail. This is unprecedented. We are overhauling our election system this year,” he said.

“Does the mail system work? Well, there are a lot of question marks about that, especially since we’ve had so many primaries this year already and look what happened in Nevada, in Pennsylvania, in New York, where 84,000 ballots — they disappeared. That was one out of every four voters not accounted for, they were rejected in New York,” Coglianese said.

“How could you have a system where a single battleground state is in question because of a lapse like that? That is going to be a disaster.”

The radio host agreed that the Democrats are prepared to continue to fight the presidential election in the courts if the results are in doubt. “They have an army of lawyers and again, an unquenchable desire to win,” he said, adding that the Democrats plan to “manipulate the actual electors to the Electoral College“ through a scenario that has Washington, Oregon and California threatening to secede from the Union if Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden loses.

“It’s a gigantic deal,” Coglianese said, adding that the “one solution to all of this” is to ensure that people can access election polls and vote in person. (RELATED: Trump On Mail-In Voting: ‘It Puts Our Election At Risk’)

“If Americans cannot have confidence in the election system, the whole thing falls apart,” he said, noting that citizens already have “low trust” in their institutions and can’t afford to lose confidence in their electoral system without the risk of becoming a “third world” nation.

"These are not acts of peaceful protest but really domestic terror," Trump said, describing multiple nights of angry demonstrations last week after a white police officer in Kenosha shot a black man in the back at close range.

Former 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has already said that Biden should not concede “under any circumstances.”

President Donald Trump has warned that mail-in voting will result in “the most corrupt election” in United States history and has threatened to withhold federal funds from states that allow it.

Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi has applauded the concept as a means of making voting safer during the coronavirus pandemic and has dubbed it “voting from home.” She wants to spend $3.6 billion to better enable the U.S. Mail to facilitate the process.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
