President Trump on Mail-In Ballots: It’s Going to Be a Rigged Election’

By Washington Examiner. President Trump once again made his opposition to mass mail-in voting clear, saying involuntary absentee ballots will lead to a “rigged election.” . . .

Trump, who has previously incorrectly stated mail-in voting will lead to fraud, also said it will make it easier for foreign interference after U.S. intelligence assessed China, Russia, and Iran are targeting the upcoming election.

“This whole thing with this mail-in ballot, that’s a rigged election waiting to happen,” Trump said Tuesday on Fox News’s Hannity. “It’s rigged, and everyone knows it. Because you can’t send out 16 million mail-in ballots to everybody, who knows who’s getting them. The mailmen are going to get them, and people are going to just grab batches of them, and you talk about China and Russia, they’ll be grabbing plenty of them. It’s a disaster.” (Read more from “President Trump on Mail-In Ballots: It’s Going to Be a Rigged Election'” HERE)

Cal Thomas: Trump on Voting by Mail — President Is Right for These Reasons

By Fox News. . .Two weeks ago, I mailed an 8-by-10-inch envelope from a Miami post office to an address in New York State. The postage was correct, as was the address and ZIP code.

One week passed and the recipient emailed to say the envelope had not arrived, so I mailed another one. Last week, he wrote to say that the second one had arrived. A few days after that he wrote again to say the one mailed earlier had finally been delivered after a 10-day delay. Normally, a first-class mailing would not have taken more than three business days.

Multiply my experience by the 100 million that could be expected from an all-mail-in election and the problem should be obvious.

President Trump has said the potential for fraud with all mail-in voting is enormous. While he has said absentee ballots are safer, The New York Daily News reported “Systematic failures at the state Board of Elections and U.S. Postal Service resulted in nearly one in 10 absentee ballots cast in the June 23 primary being invalidated.” That comes out to 84,000 out of nearly 319,000 ballots cast.

Many Democrats claim the fear over mail-in ballots is misplaced, but the evidence proves otherwise and in close elections, especially presidential elections, a few votes either way in key states can decide the winner.
