REUTERS/Michaela RehleDETROIT: Former President Barack Obama said on Friday he worries about protecting the integrity of November's election in view of efforts by President Donald Trump to"kneecap" the US Postal Service to limit Americans voting by mail during the pandemic.
Trump has railed for months against mail-in ballots as a possible source of fraud, although millions of Americans have cast absentee ballots by mail for years without such problems. He said Republicans have actively discouraged voter turnout before but that Trump's efforts to"actively kneecap the Postal Service" were unprecedented."What we've seen in a way that is unique to modern political history is a president who is explicit in trying to discourage people from voting, right?" he said.
