WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Thursday said his team was rejecting Democrats’ bid to include funds for the U.S. Postal Service and to shore up election infrastructure in a new coronavirus relief bill, as he vowed to block money to facilitate mail-in voting.
Trump said his negotiators have resisted Democrats’ calls for additional money to help prepare for presidential, congressional and local voting during a pandemic that has killed more than 165,000 Americans and presented severe logistical challenges to organizing large events like the Nov. 3 election.
Democrats have cried foul, accusing Trump and his party of trying to make it harder for Americans to vote, as opinion polls show him trailing his Democratic rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. Roughly one in four U.S. voters cast their ballots by mail in 2016, and Trump himself has voted by mail. But Trump and his fellow Republicans have criticized state efforts to make voting by mail more widely available, saying without evidence it could lead to widespread fraud. Election exerts say mail voting is as secure as any other method.
Democratic U.S. Representative Hakeem Jeffries wrote on Twitter: “It’s now clear. The effort to destroy the Post Office is part of a continuing conspiracy to steal the election.”
He needs to cheat to win
What could gowrong?
Meanwhile the media is trying to push the anti trump narrative by promoting false information. Anyone else realize how corrupt the democrats are?
then clear or confirm voter rolls. Sending out ballots to unconfirmed addresses where animals or dead people once lived is a waste of money. Local election commissions need to step up.
GOP do you support funding the USPS, today is the time to do same. Do you support 45/admin/gop slowing down/stopping the delivery of medications to seniors & veterans? Do you support small businesses who use the USPS to ship packages? FundTheUSPS DoSomething
How many ballots do you think will stack up at apartments and condo’s? No possible voter fraud there, lol. How many people have moved and ballots sent to the wrong address? You need to fix the system before a mass mailings of ballots.
No ID No vote. is this what is it's all about
WORK ON IT NACY PELOSI !!! DON'T STOP !!! SAVE OUR LIVES !!! OUR MEDICATIONS COME IN THE MAIL !!!
Hopefully, someday, we will throw all the Democrats in Prison, where they belong
You need to Impeach Barr.
jack There are lots of bots on Twitter. Note this thread! Can’t you kick these mercenaries out!
DID someone change the battery on Pelosi....
Will Twitter, jack censor this blatant lie by the Speaker? The White House is not against 'absentee voting' but the wholesale mailing of ballots to every address regardless if a registered voter lives there or will be voting in person. DemocraticElectionTampering
If it riles that bay area broad, I'm all for it.
Fakenews is failing hard, today proves how much hate they have for Trump.
So Trump has admitted to trying to corrupt and steel the November 3rd elections, now tell us what you're going to do to stop him! SpeakerPelosi we're waiting for answers! RVAT RVATenablers. Are you among the Trump enablers SpeakerPelosi?
He doesn't want the old sick people to get to the pools..honest mail in votes would wipe him out. Real hindered America doesn't want him. Old..poor..sick..or not white..your not wanted.
A suggestion: Sell your vineyard and give the proceeds to the San Francisco homeless.
What does unemployment payments and stimulus checks have to do with absentee voting?
Pelosi, if you would listen, you good slove alot or your problems, he is not for mail in voting, but he is ok with absentee voting, absentee you have to prove who you are, mail in ballots you don't prove who you are

Lefty McConnell will show the White House what’s what by tanking the economy.
I vote absentee quite a bit. I go to the courthouse a couple of weeks earlier and vote. No mail is involved.
What are you doing about it?
But let’s allow rioting fancynancy
Trump would do anything to jeopardize the election. He isn't fit for the oval office.
Well you just supplied aid to the post office, and how long would it take to build further infrastructure in the post office? Last bankruptcy it took almost a year just to get to routinely operational.
How much more until its unanimously agreed he is copying Putin and we lock him up . What happened to the United Nations council come on this is ridiculous. We are better then this and if not then I am you enemy
