What The President Says

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone.....

What FactCheck.org Says

There is no evidence to back up Trump’s blanket claim that “mailed ballots are corrupt.” Voting experts say the president is exaggerating when he says mail ballots are “fraudulent in many cases.” While the instances of voter fraud via mail-in or absentee ballots are more common than in-person voting fraud, the number of known cases is relatively rare.

More, in astonishing detail, here. (I’ve heard it said that Excedrin is good for eye strain.)

What May Really be Going On

There are several lines of thought on this, including that the President is right, and that even Jimmy Carter agrees. Except that was in 2005, and reforms since have convinced Carter otherwise.

The deeper concern is that the President is setting himself and his followers up to discredit a loss come November. Oh, and in a pandemic, mail-in ballots can help ensure voter turnout, something some people don’t want.

Protect yourself in a pandemic, protect democracy in a very shady time: Get a mail-in ballot for the 2020 general election.
