Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg had supported the delay

The judge in Donald Trump’s hush money trial agreed to delay the trial’s start date by 30 days after prosecutors received an influx of materials to review, just two weeks ahead of the trial’s initial start date.

Judge Juan Merchan wrote on Friday, 15 March that the trial would be postponed by 30 days, meaning it would begin in mid-April.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked the judge overseeing the criminal case on 14 March to delay the trial by as much as 30 days after the United States Attorney’s Office (USAO) produced 31,000 pages of records the day prior. Prosecutors also noted on Friday that they are expecting an additional 15,000 pages of potential evidence.

You gotta vote. The courts won't save you. The ballot box will.

Even the ballot box may not be enough this time. They're gonna go nuclear on the election officials and attack the voting system. Definitely vote, but also be prepared for a shitshow regardless the outcome of the election

Let them, Biden is in control of the National Guard this time. Trump can’t use his position to intentionally hamstring security.

Yeah I'm sure the limp-dick democrats will never toss an election like in 2000 when Gore won.

Wait a minute......

The ballot box might.

Otherwise, there is another.

Liberals out here acting like the SC didn't already overthrow democracy and overturn the 2000 election after Jeb Bush's regime deleted tens of thousands of blacks from the Florida voter roll — George Bush won Florida by a few hundred votes.

The Brooks Brothers Riot was also a coup, just like Jan 6. The difference is, it succeeded.

Also, the votes were eventually counted after the fact, and Gore actually won Florida.

Would if I could but I'm on the other side of the great pond. I can only observe and hope for the best.
