Trump suppressing votes
State of Nevada “thinks” that they can send out illegal vote by mail ballots, creating a great Voter Fraud scenario for the State and the U.S. They can’t! If they do, “I think” I can hold up funds to the State. Sorry, but you must not cheat in elections. @RussVought45 @USTreasury

Michigan sends absentee ballot applications to 7.7 million people ahead of Primaries and the General Election. This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State. I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!

Ummm…Nebraska did that, too, sent out absentee ballots. But Nebraska voted for Trump. I suppose it’s okay, then, because the illegal votes obviously did not exceed the legal votes (i.e., votes for Trump = legal votes).
Absentee ballot options have been around for a long time, Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I have recieved many over the years in a few different states. Trump might have been sent absentee ballots himself, but I really doubt voting information ever reaches him, he has “employees” to handle such trivial tasks as fetching the mail. Makes me wonder if he ever voted before it became a publicity op for him.
twiliter, that is so true. My father was voting by absentee ballot before I was born, and I am nearly 60. As a Navy man who was frequently stationed overseas, it was his only option to vote. I have voted by absentee ballot, back when I was living in Oklahoma but working in Texas…going home on Tuesday to vote was not an option.
Indeed, when I lived in California (for 45 years), there were no restrictions on voting absentee whether you were absent or not. Voting by mail has a long and trusted history. Trump is worried about fraud because he is one.
