GOP election lawyer explains how Trump’s war on mail-in voting could backfireFmr. campaign lawyer for John McCain: “The right message is that every American ought to have a chance to vote safely … What they’re hearing out of the White House is, ‘It’s fraudulent, it’s dangerous, don’t do it.’ I think it is entirely possible that means it boomerangs on the Republican party.” /2 And if one of those people are looking at 75 yrs in prison and know a pardon isn’t coming and receive direct instructions from the WH, it could get very very messy. Potter knows this. Knows won’t be able to protect the president if this plan is put into action. The trouble with mail in ballots is very simple ... Voters do not know with 100% certainty that there vote was ever counted let alone received .
