Trump: People Will “Rob Mailboxes” To Get Ballots

Mediaite reports:

President Donald Trump is sowing doubt about a mail-in voting process — which many states are taking steps to implement in the fall. In a pair of Tuesday morning tweets, the president raged against the prospect of voting by mail, and came up with a whole host of ways in which he believes a mail election could or would be compromised. Trump went on to make the perplexing argument that voting by mail would produce a fraudulent result because it would encourage voting. Trump himself votes by mail.

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…..

….living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one. That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote. This will be a Rigged Election. No way!
