Trump once again gives up the game on voting by mail: 'Doesn't work out well for Republicans'

.

President Donald Trump again admitted that he opposes voting by mail — even during a deadly coronavirus pandemic — because it would hurt Republicans.

Two weeks ago, the president admitted during a freewheeling “Fox & Friends” interview that “you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again” if Americans were allowed to vote by mail, as Democrats had requested as part of negotiations on a pandemic recovery package.

The president admitted his opposition to voting by mail — which he and first lady Melania Trump did just last month — was motivated by partisan gain.

Republicans should fight very hard when it comes to state wide mail-in voting. Democrats are clamoring for it. Tremendous potential for voter fraud, and for whatever reason, doesn’t work out well for Republicans.

Those quotes should be used in court cases.

Republicans cheat with the voting machines in order to stay in power. And you
can't do that with a mail in ballot unless you give it somebody else and let them
fill it out for you.

He freely admits to representing Republicans only. He has abandoned any pretense of caring about ALL the citizens of the United States. That makes him a SHAMELESS partisan hack.

But haven’t studies shown that mail-in voting actually favors Republicans? If so, he is a STUPID, shameless, partisan hack.

tRump says there is a potential for voter fraud. Democrats vehemently claim there is no voter fraud. tRump and his minions cheat on the counting of the mail in ballots. We get held to our claim there is/was no voter fraud.

I don’t know what other states, but it’s super convenient, fun— especially local politics, my husband and I discuss our voting and issues surrounding them. And accurate. Ballots sent vs ballots turned in are relatively easy to track. He’s full of shit as usual.

Mail voting would help stop the buses full of illegals going from polling place to polling place. You can't mail a bus!

Different month different bullshit.
