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.
Safe? They’ve been destroying mail machines and slowing service. It’s a “they have already and continue to do” not they might.
Mail in voting allows them to lose ballots. Often even more readily than in person because it doesn’t require election officials being in on it.
Voting by mail is not somehow magically more secure than voting in person.
