U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agrees with him that letting voters send in ballots by mail puts honest elections at risk.

“Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can’t have an honest election with mail-in voting,” Trump told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” after a nearly three-hour meeting between the leaders in Alaska. “He said there’s not a country in the world that uses it now.”

    “He said there’s not a country in the world that uses it now.”

    Yes, blindly listen to what Putin says and ignore all the countries that do have working mail in voting.

      That’s… actually surprisingly few. I thought it would be more common.

      There should probably be another cour on the scale for countries that don’t have voting at all, like black or gray or something.

      in France, people abroad can vote online, otherwise you have to present yourself to vote, with paper, in transparent box, and you’re free to participate in the counting

      I see at least one state on here that should be yellow. Where did they source their info from? (Edit: sorry I’m on mobile so digging into it would take a while. I can look from my computer later)
