Trump says it's OK for him to vote absentee but no one else

By Emily Singer -April 8, 2020 9:32 AM

Trump voted by mail just last month, but he says other people who do it are cheaters.

Donald Trump on Tuesday attacked Democrats for wanting to expand voting by mail in order to protect the public from the COVID-19 pandemic, falsely saying that absentee voting is "dangerous" and "fraudulent."

Trump made the comment after Republicans in Wisconsin blocked the state's Democratic governor from canceling in-person voting in the state's primary, and instead extending absentee voting in order to prevent virus transmission in the state. Because of the GOP's move, thousands of people waited in hourslong lines on Tuesday, risking their health in order to participate in the democratic process.

At his daily coronavirus task force briefing on Tuesday, Trump said he supported the GOP's efforts, falsely claiming that absentee voting leads people to "cheat" in elections.

"They're fraudulent in many cases," Trump said of mail-in ballots.
