Even as he cast ballots by mail himself and launched messaging campaigns encouraging his supporters to do the same, Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to eliminate mail-in voting altogether, baselessly casting doubt on the legitimacy of mail-in votes.
Now he appears to be calling for the end of all forms of early voting.
After publicly demanding the prosecution of his political enemies, Trump encouraged the Department of Justice to investigate the outcome of the 2020 presidential election with “gusto” — and signaled that the “biggest SCANDAL in American history” will “happen again” unless the government eliminates early voting.
Traditionally, the wisdom has been that non-voters lean left, so increasing turnout overall tended to benefit Dems. At least one Pew Research poll found that people who were eligible to vote but didn’t were slightly more likely to have voted for Trump (44%) than Harris (40%).
That said, yes, what we need is for Dem voters to definitely vote! (not sarcasm)
