President Trump threatened to cut off federal funding to Michigan and Nevada today, claiming that the states were sending “illegal” absentee ballots to voters that would create “Voter Fraud” by lisettevoytko

Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s Secretary of State, responded to Trump on Twitter: “I also have a name, it’s Jocelyn Benson. And we sent applications, not ballots. Just like my GOP colleagues in Iowa, Georgia, Nebraska and West Virginia.”“These attacks on mail-in voting by Donald Trump are not only inaccurate, they are incredibly dangerous.

By trafficking in debunked conspiracy theories and lying about the impact of voting by mail, Trump is clearly attempting to undermine our elections and suppress the vote in the middle of a pandemic. Americans should not be forced to risk their lives to cast their ballots—and Congress must intervene immediately.

Trump himself votes by mail. Enough with the hypocrisy. He must not be allowed to hold critical funding hostage.”The coronavirus pandemic has upended all aspects of American life, including elections. And state and local governments, like in Michigan and Nevada, are searching for ways to protect public health while ensuring fair elections can take place.

lisettevoytko I am running out of words to describe how Stupid and Hypocritical this guy is. If the Dems lose next fall they should disband because if you can not win over this you do not deserve to be a party Trump TrumpMadness TrumpIsUnfitForOffice TrumpMeltdown

lisettevoytko if he does , he is going to lose a lot of votes, just like wisconsin did.

lisettevoytko The moron has no limits to his stupidity and partisanship. If you do what the king wants, that's the way it has to be. Why do we have a congress and senate, let Donny make all the decisions and get to the point!

lisettevoytko Of course mailing out absentee ballot applications is completely legal and has been done forever. In fact more Reps in California use them than Dems. Mail-in voting is very safe and verified, Trump just wants to suppress the vote because he's going to lose in a massive landslide

lisettevoytko Remember the time you put quotes around Obama statements? Me neither. Everything he said was reported as fact.

lisettevoytko NASDAQ SYMBOL: SHIP. SHIP SET TO RUN TO .30 to .50. Technicals are outstanding. Huge volume. It’s ready to breakout. Ready for this to breakout.

Watch: The key challenge Trump fails against every other President facing crisisPresidents throughout history have led the nation to grieve during tragedy – until now. As over 90,000 Americans have died due to COVID-19, Pres. Trump is breaking the bipartisan custom of consoling the nation. During an entire month of briefings, Trump devoted less than one percent of his total time to condolences (as the Washington Post reported), a marked contrast to Presidents Bush, Clinton, Obama and Reagan. MSNBC Anchor Ari Melber delves into the historical footage, noting President’s action or inaction shapes “how the nation is protected,” adding, 'this is not normal. We should not act like this is normal.” AriMelber AriMelber Did you also compare how the media treated the other presidents Truml has said nice things but you in the media always ask dumb questions and attack him you take away his chance either way stop comparing you libs are sick you only care about words we care about action AriMelber

Trump threatens to cut off federal money for Michigan over mail-in votingU.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday called Michigan's plan to send mail-in voting applications to all voters in the state illegal, without citing a specific law, and threatened to withhold funding to the state. Totally normal Presidential behavior Man who votes by mail says you can’t. Seems reasonable. Blackmailer in Chief. And, an idiot. State Law. Someone needs to 'splain this to him.

Trump threatens federal funding for Michigan over mail-in voting pushTrump threatens to block federal funding to Michigan if election officials there do not retreat from measures meant to facilitate mail-in voting Trump is doing everything possible to escape Justice! He knows that he'll lose by land-slide should the other states take on mail-in voting. He should have responded 8 weeks earlier to the looming virus back in January. Trump trying to use power of President to withhold funding so a state limits mail-in voting because he believes mail-in voting hurts his re-election chances. Seems like a quid pro quo except for fact Michigan will reject Trump’s offer.
