Six months into his crusade to stop universal mail-in voting, President Trump has yet to prevent a single state from sending voters ballots

shows Republicans have become concerned about remote voting, and Democrats are outpacing Republican requests for absentee ballots in some swing states.

“The pandemic has changed everything about our lives, so why wouldn't it change the way we run elections, too?” he said. “I want to know the names of EVERY Patriot who stands with me against rampant and fraudulent mail-in-ballots. My team is giving me the list first thing TOMORROW morning. Will I see your name on there?” Trump wrote in an email to supporters in June.

“You have to wonder to what extent any of the players … are trying to use delay as a tactical advantage or chaos,” said Ned Foley, director of election law at the Moritz College of Law at Ohio State University. “Some sides might benefit or think they benefit from rocking the boat because they think they’re going to lose or they think they want to create a narrative that the system is untrustworthy.

A failure.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

No but we’re all watching!

Malarkey

Hopefully election laws will change by law for 2024. Mail and absentee was never meant to be for everyone in the first place. Mail should be only for those elderly or handicapp that cannot stand in lines or go to polling offices period.

It’s State run and just like the vandals,criminal,rioters, Pres. trumps hands are tied unless those governors and mayors ask for help.

It's not the mailing of voter ballots that I worry about, it's the timely receipt of them that worries me. I'm afraid that USPS has been crippled beyond its ability to process mail-in-votes in time to meet receipt deadlines. It's better to drop ballots off the clerk's office.

A man guilty aiding of thousands of deaths , adultery, fraud, bankruptcies of many honest sub contractors , lying, conspiring with the Russia’s, or a man of integrity , like joe Biden poor Jesus they picked barabbas and you fools will pick trump, says it all . 👺

He can’t prevent it because its in court..smh

jackshafer Trump's goal is not to stop mail in voting. His goals are primarily to sow chaos and doubt (about the legitimacy of the election results) and secondarily to REDUCE the amount of mail in votes that are cast and counted.

That’s because 1) States’ Rights to conduct elections how they see fit 2) it’s all based on lies - like everything he whines about

Democrats should be proud in knowing they excuse states like CA to mail out votes to the millions on rolls, who shouldn’t be there, and Millions of illegals who have been auto registered 2 vote when they got their driver’s licenses. LA county alone, was ordered to remove millions

Yes and were alll going to reap the whirlwind of the massive fraud that's going to occur. Trucks of uncounted fake mail-in ballots are standing by to magically show up after the election in close races. This the Democrat coup

It wasn’t about that. Trump is just softening the ground so he can scream “stolen election” if he legitimately loses.

🇺🇸recognizes it’s all about fear .... history will not be kind on this period of time.

jcotera1106 The goal was not to stop mail-in voting, the goal was to make people suspicious of the validity of mail-in voting and Trump has already succeeded there

Texas caught a man who mailed 1700 ballots.

The threat is coming from the WH. The threat is Trump2020 stealing another election. republicanLIES gopLIES

Another reason we need 9 on the Supreme Court. Counting those ballots will create a lot of mischief

State & local authorities administer the polls, not Phony Bone Spurs.

adamshermanesq Good news. And don’t be scared away from mailing in your ballot - as long as you get it in as early as possible and follow all the instructions in it, it should arrive just fine:

Mexico has sent in their ballots for Joe - Express Mail

adamshermanesq Deep State: 1 Orange State: 0 ^^

Just goes to show how easy it’s going to be to cheat and contest the election. At best it’s going to create doubt - at worst the cheating will be rampant.

That was never his real intent.

Thank God for states rights and state militias. It turns out the president is just one big ego floating in a sea of 50 other big egos. The founding fathers ROCKED! Next year let’s give those governors even more powers, like faster access to FEMA, DHS, HHS. No more begging.

Oh darn

They are already in court. In numerous states. I promise if you were to take 30’ to look into it, you wouldn’t look so ridiculous. Fake news, next.

But he has energized millions of us to show up in person to vote.

then let the party begin ,, getting me a voter roll and gonna 'harvest' a few boxes of them ballots,, hope they mark them on the outside either r or d

And you think that’s great. EFF YOU

He doesn’t care because as long as those mail in ballots go out he can rage on and try to have the election invalidated. He did not want to be president but he’s making money (a first) and getting his ego fed so he can’t “lose”

You can bet he has a master plan,. and this mail in bs is just a distraction. Trump is way smarter than most give him credit for. If you don't believe me, read his books.

his aim isn't to stop it, it's to point to it after the fact as proof of fraud in desperate attempt to retain power

Putin isn’t going to like that.

Mail voting procedures are set by state and county; there is no universal voting. Completely lacks mail voting count procedures, all manual and long

'President Trump has yet to prevent a single state from sending voters ballots' It doesn't matter, the narrative has already been set. Think election 2000 on steroids. . .

Good, but that is no reason to feel confident. They are openly hostile to the right to vote & no doubt have plans to make Nov. chaotic, as they have been seeding lies nonstop, and as Barr seems willing to 👍🏽 wild legal abuses to force outcomes that serve 45 over U.S. & it’s ppl.

Time to let the Red Sea come crashing back in on him.

Yet he's wasted tax $'s and caused chaos.

Ballots are sent out in October. So what is he talking about. This is how he is going to win with lies and scare tactics. We should mail in our vote to show him we don’t believe a word you say.

But will they get counted

BidenHarris

the executive branch has basically no power which is good, but you guy still only blame our Presidents instead of your states politicians, that's the reason nothing will change

Lies and false news

Guess he’ll have to put his 3rd Supreme on the bench and settle it in November.

That's because he is a big dope and no one listens to him.

Failures gonna fail. Unfortunately, this asshat failed upwards

Good. Trump wants to take away our right to vote. Never let him.

The ignorance of Trump is staggering, even after four years of watching his stupidity.
