Election officials in both parties from states across the country have scrambled to hold elections in the middle of a pandemic. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, recently touted the fact that 1 million people had requested absentee ballots ahead of his state's early June primary, after he made a similar decision to send ballot request forms to voters.
"For a state that previously had only around 40,000 mail ballots voted in past general primary elections, the surge to one million ballots sent out is a monumental accomplishment on its own,” Raffensperger said in a statement earlier this month. It is unclear what federal funding the president would seek to block, or if he even has the authority to do so. Both Michigan and Nevada have requested emergency funding from the Election Assistance CommissionThe CARES Act, coronavirus relief legislation passed by Congress in March, included $400 million in funding for election security, but House Democrats are seeking drastically more funding for election officials.
In the HEROES Act, a bill passed out of the House last week on a largely party-line vote, Democrats sought an additional $3.6 billion in election security funding. The legislation also includes“We as Republicans have a distinct, different philosophy on what the federal government’s role in elections should be. We believe that the states and localities are the best ones to get their voters to the polls and recognize what’s going to give everybody an opportunity to cast a vote,” Rep.

Trump 2020
Some wacko in White House just released a statement blaming everybody other than POTUS for the Virus which has now killed almost Ninety-Five Thousand Americans. Please explain to this dope in White House that it was the “incompetence of Trump”, and nothing else, that did this!
Trump for President 2020
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said it was disheartening to see Trump threaten to withhold funding over the state's vote-by-mail efforts. 'We've got to take politics out of this crisis moment,' she said
Sounds like him I hope he loses Michigan vote him out he’s deplorable!!
I served, as did my wife, and voted absentee during two elections. Never was it an issue.
I volunteer to cleave the heads off all our male leaders and the .001%, eight to twelve hours a day seven days a week until I die of old age, and may all their blood be in my own head. Let me know, thanks 253-249-8971
Too bad there's not a Nobel prize for creating fiction.
Yes, the Republicans in North Carolina got busted for doubt that very thing....and one lady in Texas....and.....uh....thsts it! Hmmm?....maybe, as a GOP member she has experience with either fraud.... Let's call it an insider point if view.
So much for states rights....
Take a look at CBS_Herridge, Techno_Fog, or JohnWHuber's Twitter feeds. Maybe learn a little bit about real Journalism and act a little less like the Enquirer.
Let's vote these COVIDShitBags OUT of office. PatrioticMills most certainly has some things to say about them. DemCast Wednesday
“unfounded” lol.
Hack
DBChirpy blondie doesn’t know what to say because it’s not true. There is zero illegal. Only in Dictator Dons mind. MLive saginawnews GRPress I keep hoping that conservatives wake up and see Trumpism is not conservative.
DISTRACTION
Gosh she’s good at her job.
She’s out of her league. She needs to go back to what she was doing before she took this job.
Well, if you are guilty of voter fraud, there's a big fine and/or jail time for that. Knuckleheads.
What’s the point of being the center of attention when shit is falling out of your mouth?
WH Press Sec. McEnany is referring to the video 'proving' voter fraud with mail-in voting. Check it out!
Another Dotard Tunt Coup & Quid Pro Quo...
No there’s not there’s more fraud when people can’t get to the limited amount of polls for the elderly and blacks and disabled and we all know how Trump thinks about them. Trump is deplorable.
I am a mail in voter, but voting by mail must be requested by the voter. MI supervisor mailed them to everyone. Didn't follow law.
Because she’s a lying sycophant
I rest my case
You mean like Russian fraud

Trump Fans Gobble Up His Favorite, Unproven COVID Drug—Some Are Even Trying To Cook It Themselves via thedailybeast
A question to the campaign when it's the POTUS who communicate the information in an official channel. What's happening in this country ?
think of all the hundreds and hundreds of billions that go to corporations that are filled with corruption but suddenly they are concerned w/ corruption in states regarding vote by mail which has almost zero issues.
Trump is a criminal.
Trump just comes up with something...no authority, no law, no regulation...
Why don't you ask him so you don't remain confused about this.
Do you care? Really? Regardless of what realDonaldTrump thinks or says, it will still be objectionable for you!!
Trump thinks the Democrats are committing voter fraud while the worse case ever was North Carolina GOP fraud which was so massive the whole election had to be thrown out. Every time this is investigated you can count on one hand the number of fraud votes out of millions.
State of rights as what is right for State.
Truly a man watching his short lived political career go down in flames.
What Michigan did was ILLEGAL... sugarcoat all you want but there’s a court case to uphold the argument. Democrats are doing everything they can to ramp up voter fraud bc they have no chance of winning in November and they know it.
Has he been watch8ng fox again?
Watch those same Republicans now reverse course. We could sell tickets to watch the spinning.
What ever happened to states right? Republicunts are hypocrites
Go get’em Mr President!
He's getting more desperate by the day.
MI is using federal stimulus money to send out these applications. With federal money comes federal strings. This is money that could be used for PPE and other supplies that MI needs but instead they are using it for apps which are readily available on
'misstates' ... why are you so hesitant to just call it what is is, a lie? Why are you constantly covering for Trump and giving him the benefit of the doubt?
Now let’s watch the “party of state’s rights” justify this monstrous behavior. The craven hypocrisy that puts American lives at risk to hold onto power appears to have no end in sight.
Since the outbreak, Pompeo has ordered aides to kill at least 300 twitter celebrities who blamed Trump and to attribute their deaths to viral infections, according to documents leaked by the CIA
