'It's the same thing': Experts baffled by Trump's misleading distinction between 'absentee' and 'mail-in' ballots

Washington President Donald Trump has railed against"mail-in voting" while defending"absentee voting," baffling experts who say those voting systems are essentially the same thing.

Trump made the claims in a series of tweets Friday morning, which included some of his previously debunked claims about voter fraud. There is no widespread fraud in US elections. "Mail-In Ballot fraud found in many elections. People are just now seeing how bad, dishonest and slow it is. Election results could be delayed for months. No more big election night answers? 1% not even counted in 2016. Ridiculous! Just a formula for RIGGING an Election," Trump tweeted.

We all know he began his stop the steal before the elections and bill Barr went on CNN to defend the same. When will it be his turn to testify. I think he resigned when Trump told him about the plans.

If it’s the same thing, mail me the Covid vaccine with card. I’ll make sure to take it ;). Same thing right? I swear these news companies are sellouts.

Of course he is 🤬 I knew he was trouble when he first called out democrats in a statement. I switched parties due to him. IndictTrump

Most of the voter fraud was committed by republicans and it was STILL not enough to turn the election in any candidates favor, lol

Well 😒 duh

A Reuters / CNN “fact check” is like a tell in poker. Whatever the “fact check” says, the opposite is true

No they are not. Absentee ballots must be notorized. At least in my state. So fix your story king of fake news. CNN misleading/fake news.

First the lockdown is partisan, now how we vote is partisan. Let’s be clear, if it’s partisan it’s not going to work. The last thing we need is for the election to be controversial. Please, No mail in voting for the love of god.

At least ~66% of my immediate family were victims of voterfraud just in the 2018 election alone. It’s widespread in So Cal.😑 Most voters probably aren’t even aware their ballot has been stolen, or that their registration has changed. VoterIDNow ReportVoterFraud Registrar

The difference is one is requested, the other is not. Sending out requested ballots is more efficient than mailing out excessive ballots to people who should no longer be on the voting rolls. Counties should clean up their voting rolls to inspire confidence in the process.

You do lie a lot don't you. That's disgusting. Was your editor from Pravda? Mail in ballots & absentee are totally different. You request an absentee ballot. Mail in ballots are mailed to dead people & others not eligible to vote.

DemoCat fake news! CoryTheCat

NewsGuyGreg President is right.

CNN LIARS. Your the equivalent to the KGB.

Hey VeryFakeNews absentee ballots don’t get sent to every registered voter, so no, they aren’t the same.

I call BS

New Jersey disagrees.

Did you expect anything else from CNN?

Well if there's one organization I trust when it comes to fraud, its CNN

Yeah Okay

Can someone at answer if voter fraud is actually hard to catch due to the confidentiality of our elections? Biden got 40k absentee ballots in Delaware. That’s more votes than every candidate in Delaware has. we literally had a lady’s cat sent a ballot

Fake news channel making up nees as they go ANYONE that believes CNN needs help

I always trust what cnn say .....

Fake news once again CNN

How can you say it not an issue when USPS employees are already being arrested for tampering with ballots, others throwing away campaign literature? It’s fact and when you have 100M+ ballots to verify, more corruption & mistakes will happen.

Not baseless claims, CNN! True claims!

There’s a distinction, no matter what the fake news media tells you

Facts with CNN! What a joke 😂
