"Mail ballots are a very dangerous thing for this country, because they're cheaters" said Trump, during Tuesday's daily White House briefing."They're fraudulent in many cases." He was responding to a question about Wisconsin, which proceeded with in-person voting Tuesday despite objections that the election should move to all mail-in ballots.
"Where there is fraud in the system, it really seems to be in mail balloting," said Lonna Atkeson, a political science professor at the University of New Mexico."There's some, there's not a lot. I think there's a little bit."
That is a lie. Amazing we stood in line listening to the illegals laughing about voting
Why not report on the real reason he said it? Republicans know they cannot win fair elections.
USPS needs a boost. A leader would recognize this
Seems like a massive waste of resources. All the paper, printing, manpower. Set up an electronic system with a card. Or let's keep voting in person and reserve voting by mail for prescribed situations. Americans are weary of the endless debate.
'There's some, there's not a lot. I think there's a little bit.' Upon what is that conclusion based? Why was this even published? Absolute drivel.
Don't understand how there's more fraud. each mail-in ballot should be serialized to the voter. If there are 200 million registered voters there should only be 200 million votes. The balance should be logged and visible to the person so they can confirm it is correct.
He’s an ass. He votes by mail.
He’s totally gone off his rocker!
remember you said that, NPR. when Trump wins in November, your next article will be about how fraudulent mail-in voting is.
Just ask Bernie about rigged elections.
That is unless you consider Republican voter suppression to be fraud, then there is plenty of fraud. And that is exactly what Trump and the Republicans want to do!
This title should note he voted by mail from his “home state” FLA.
Voting by mail makes too much sense. The GOP will never go for it.
We truly have to stop listening to the lame potus. His pants burned off a long time ago!
You don't get to ignore the election security bills put forth and still claim election fraud with any shred of credibility.
voter suppression, however, abounds.
Washington state does this, works great, no lines 👍
Election fraud is committed by both political parties. Individual voters don't commit voter fraud. Efforts to suppress voter turnout by GOP. Efforts to correct the vote by Dems.
Fed Gov’t should issue national voter card, similar to a debit card. Then, voting should be completed via the worldwide ATM networks. Once you vote, the system recognizes/disallows repeat vote. Entering personal zip code determines ballot screen content.
Such a classic attack line for those who fear the potential consequences of allowing it.
'Extremely rare '? You must be part of the swamp!!
You mean he lied.
🙄 There's so little election fraud as compared to the President's own history of fraud that it isn't worth mentioning. People need to vote by mail because that just makes sense in a pandemic. They just don't want folks to vote.
In recent years, ballot manipulation is disproportionately committed by Republican operatives. Sorry LBJ, you're old news. It's the GOP who stuff the Ballot Box these days.
Like I’d take any advice from this.
Republicans don’t want mail in voting because it makes it harder for them to utilize voter suppression tactics. God forbid we have a level playing field.
Voter fraud is rare but election fraud and voter suppression is too common, esp by one Party.
‘Experts’
realDonaldTrump
It’s always republicans cheating anyway.
You mean voter fraud is rare
The orange poo ball voted by mail, himself.
33,000 emails were lost be a dem. Think we should trust Dems?
If Trump can vote by mail, we can too.
This article does nothing to expand on this issue except scream Trump. How is mail ballot done today?How do people register to vote? How do states keep an accurate account of people in households etc? Where will mail ballots go to?So many questions that the article falls to cover
Stop repeating the *lie* as something like a reasonable statement that reasonable people can disagree with. In the real type of voter fraud in USA, voters are the victims not the perpetrators.
No matter how many times this is stated GOP/SCOTUS/... will not allow everyone to vote because many of the white men on the ballot are completely unelectable in a free and fair election.
That is simply not true. The level of voting fraud in the U.S. is the same as in South American countries or any extremely corrupt country for that matter. The difference is, Americans are still hiding behind their self-righteous 'We are the authority on democracy' bullshit.
While, at the same time, defending his right to vote by mail. The man doesn't actually believe that there is significant fraud; he just wants to take away people's ability to vote.
Just remember, almost every word out the orange idiots mouth is a LIE! It’s all he knows, it’s the way he was raised by his criminal father. LiarInChief Orangeidiot
He's right. We should avoid it if at all possible.
Slightly more fraud? How? The bigger problem is voter suppression of mailed ballots.
If we can do the census online and by mail, we can vote that way.
Did you review the ballot harvesting scam in California? If not, you are not much of a reporter.
Voter level fraud is virtually nonexistent, about one vote per billion. President for Life Herr Gröpenfurer von Bonespur is concerned that with mail-in ballots, it becomes virtually impossible to suppress the votes of the underprivileged and of color. He wouldn't win.
No, no, no! It’s just another way for the Dems to cheat!! Lock that $h!t down now!!!
Projection.
POTUS Always points out ALL the Things that HE Could B Accused of? realDonaldTrump's Mind Seems 2 ALWAYS Go 2 the Gutter 1st?! & then his mouth can't articulate ANY OF IT?! I think he has a Grade 3 reading level?
Everytime I see something like this, Orwell’s 1984 quote about believe what the party tells you over all else comes to mind. Truly terrifying
Even though he admitted he voted by mail recently in Florida. The party of do as we say, not as we do.....
More propaganda for his trumpers to believe if he loses.
TRUMP votes by mail. He's a liar and a hypocrite. Plus he's stealing PPE.
Not to mention the last bit of fraud was in North Carolina...by the Republican candidate's staff.
