ANALYSIS: A step-by-step look at Trump's falsehoods on mail-in voting.

pandemic. But he provided no evidence to back up his frightening theory and ignored the fact that dozens of secretaries of state from both parties, as well as officials in his own administration, have pushed back these unfounded allegations and walked experts through their strict security checks.

"This is like an arsonist blaming someone else for setting the fire. This is a man who refused to push through the $3.6 billion that would have allowed every single state to scale up their apparatus in need of an election night decision," voting rights activists and former Georgia House leader Stacey Abrams told ABC News, referring to a package Democrats introduced this last summer to give states more funds to help process mailed-in ballots.

"There is no evidence that widespread or systematic absentee voter fraud is a real phenomenon. There have been scattered instances of both in-person and absentee voter fraud throughout history. But that's something that both Democratic and Republican campaigns have engaged in. And there is just no evidence that it happens on a widespread or systematic basis," said Kate Shaw, law professor at Cardozo Law School and ABC News legal contributor.

The reality is that in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, a temporary independent contractor who was assigned to sort mail at the elections bureau"incorrectly discarded into the office trash" nine military ballots. The mistake was discovered by Luzerne County Elections Director Shelby Watchilla two days later. County officials clarified later that it wasn't until the U.S. attorney's office announced the investigation that they knew the ballots were cast for Trump.

Myrna Pérez, the director of the Brennan Center's Voting Rights and Elections Program, labeled Trump's attempts to"conflate bumps and fraud" as a"lie and disinformation."

Lies fake news

The PRESIDENT is WINNING simply by calling it into question.... almost ALL STATES ARE SCRUTINIZING THE ACCURACY OF THEIR SYSTEMS AND MAKING ADJUSTMENTS! And THAT'S what he wanted to get done!

You can call them lies. Just lies.

It's not false, everything Trump has said has come true, it's the fake news media that twist his words and make it look like he's lying there is a lot of corruption in voting and the Communist Democrat Party.....

We’re seeing problems with mail in voting daily idiots!

Of course, expect huge fraud in Multimillion Mail-in ballots!If there were fraud before in SOME mail-in ballots, HOW MUCH MORE for Multimillion Mail-in ballots?

No bias in that headline! Journalists😂😂😂

Now do one on the step by step falsehoods on the phony Russian collusion hoax.

ABC is trying so hard. And failing so hard.

100K NY ballets sent out wrong info

Nothing false about voter fraud and the vast potential for it.

What else is new with DonaldTrump?

Just call them lies. Falsehoods? Who even uses that word to describe his lies anymore?

Fake News by ABC......propaganda

He is right just like he was right about Obama spying, about closing travel from China. Right about Antifa, Right about Hillary. And right about media lying. You will see when all hell breaks lose over these ballots missing, ballots being rejected , more ballots than voters etc

It’s freaking common sense. If you pass out millions of ballots to people who have no intention to vote. It enables ballot harvesting. Which enables cheating. How do you not see this?

The leader of proud boys, you know the white supremacy group v

Can’t believe a word he says

SCOTUS will strike the democrats mass mail scheme.

And everything else Election2020 BidenHarris2020

His lies, call them lies

Blah..blah...blah

The 'billionaire' who hides his taxes. The 'genius' who hides his college grades. The 'businessman' who bankrupted a casino. The 'playboy' who pays for sex. The 'Christian' who doesn't go to church. The 'philanthropist' who defrauds charity. The 'patriot' who dodged the draft.

NY just reported that 100,000 ballots were screwed up.

Don’t attempt that. You’re just going to prove he’s right

Ballot harvesting should be illegal. Only send out ballots to those that request ballots. Mail in deadline should be 14 days before election day.

Trump Always Finds A New Way To Remind You Of The Amorality Of The Trump EraTrump attacking Biden’s living son while Biden spoke about his late son was a jarring moment of amorality.

‘Appalling,’ ‘dangerous’: Ex-Trump officials react to Trump debate showingTwo former top Trump officials, Olivia Troye and Elizabeth Neumann, are now spending the weeks before the election warning voters about the President. “I think the President showed the nation exactly who he is last night. I’m just glad he put it on display to see what I’ve been watching behind closed doors in briefings,” says Troye. I do believe just as Trump does, that the Democrats are using the coronavirus as a political weapon to win an election. Do you really think Joe Biden cares if anyone dies from Covid? He said nothing at 50 thou, nothing at 100thou, but now the election is here he’s concerned!

Analysis: Hits and misses from the first Trump-Biden debate'This was an awful debate that did absolutely nothing to educate the public about the two candidates and what they would do if given four years to serve as president of the US,' CillizzaCNN writes. | Analysis CillizzaCNN Sometimes ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS. Biden was much calmer and spike honestly into the camera to the American People. He wasn’t given much time to answer with all interruptions. Trump actions BULLIED the entire debate. He Lied all night! CillizzaCNN Anyone giving Biden a hard time for stooping to Trump's level has obviously never tried to have an adult conversation while a toddler interrupted them and screamed into their ear. I felt that man's frustration on all fronts. CillizzaCNN It only reinforced what everyone already knew: Trump is an out-of-control psycho. Biden is the stable ADULT.
