U.S. President Donald Trump has held himself up as a champion of American troops without rival. Now, with his presidency on the line, he's casting suspicion on a tool of participatory democracy -- the mail-in ballot -- that has allowed U.S. military personnel to vote while serving far from home since the War of 1812.

The president has shouted from Twitter to "STOP THE COUNT" and levelled unsubstantiated charges that "surprise ballot dumps" after election night are helping rival Democrat Joe Biden "steal" the election.

Abbot is a member of Count Every Hero, a coalition of top military brass advocating for service members' votes to be protected and properly tallied. He added: "It doesn't help this democracy for to continue to sound this alarm. It's inappropriate." Trump appeared to take notice of the number of outstanding military and overseas votes in Georgia, tweeting Friday: "Where are the missing military ballots in Georgia? What happened to them?"

In fact, the disparity is hardly surprising. Biden and other Democrats in the leadup to Election Day urged supporters to vote early and by mail because of concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. Trump urged his supporters to vote in person and he held the advantage in many states among those who cast their ballots in person on Election Day.

Stop the steel

I pray that the DNC rigging machinery be exposed, every illegal vote be exposed and cast aside and all those involved be brought to justice in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth .Amen

All the while, Trump insists that military voters' mail-in ballots must be counted. He even suggested on Friday -- without presenting evidence -- that some troops' mail-in ballots have gone 'missing.'

What about some others?

BIDEN has to cheat to win. But he won't..all this is going to back fire, and all the betrayal on Canada, and the USA will be known.

Dear Canadians. I think now is a good time to ask yourselves if this guy really won two elections?

Yeah yeah

Attacks or whistleblower You gotta love the medias titles.

They’ve been saving up this post-election, journalistic knuckle dragging for months

I am far more concerned with the integrity of Canada’s elections given how much he likes using taxpayers money to manipulate them for his own gain

Why is the photos of the DNC primary in Pennsylvania? Do better CTV!

Perhaps the media and DNC.

More propaganda from the children at CTV. I never heard he was against absentee ballots which is what the Military use. Mail in Ballots that are sent to dead people and people who do not reside in the State. There is a difference between mail in and absentee but CTV doesn't care

You guys are ridiculous CTV. This us not reporting, it's Trump bashing. Like the guy or not, this whole election is a joke.

Trump , always the idiot

The world knows it fake ballots

Lol, the sting operation, what a fraudulant stance on trump

Well it would serve Trump right that you guys all vote for Biden he never called any of you liars or suckers

Typically the military votes are absentee ballots, the mail in ballots are new this year.

Trump is a very DESPARATE man, he is looking for anything to stop Bernie and regain the White House. He doesn't care about anyone but himself.

CTVAtlantic Why don’t you try reporting the news, instead of trying to create news.

CTVAtlantic Trump. Strong personality. High energy. Accomplishment lots of positives in 4 years. Joe will sell out to the leftists and be taken advantage of. Ya think BLM and Antifa will stop their burning and pillaging

Trump attacks unsolicited ballots not absentee ballots. Get your facts right fakenews.

CTVAtlantic 8000+ military service men and woman votes in Georgia still not counted and are missing. Look it up.

I wonder if you fake news hacks will take a look at the press conference in Michigan, where they announced that thousands of votes were mistakenly added to Biden when they should have been for Trump. Report the news honestly, please.
