Joyce White Vance:trump more outraged by voting by mail than Russian interference in 2016 elections

Joyce Alene@JoyceWhiteVance
Trump has shown more outrage in the last few days about Americans voting by mail during a pandemic than he has ever shown about Russian efforts to interfere with our elections.

This is what happens, and our intel agencies warn about it weakening our national security. If trump were not president he'd never get a top security clearance, like his son in law and daughter wouldn't either. Trump is weak on Putin and Russia, and why he refuses to say anything about his corruption, and his failures.

commit voter fraud by voting in an election in FL? He was told by the authorities in FL when he built his club it cannot be considered his residence and he agreed to it. Yet he is using it as his permanent residence for voting. That is voter fraud. I have not heard or read anywhere that the decision was reversed before he did vote by mail in recent months.

can be recounted to correct for "contamination" for the total. Putin and Trump don't like that.

This is all about voter suppression. Trump and his sycophants see it as a win-win. If they can suppress votes great! If not they set the groundwork for declaring voter fraud if they don't win.

because the Governor is sending Vote By Mail ballots to all registered voters.

Yet every election season, we get our voters pamphlet with candidate and proposition information and to let us know our polling location and right below that is a box to check if we want to Vote By Mail.

If Republicans win this law suit (and I don't believe they will), we should all just check that box and get our ballot by mail anyway.
There should be billboards and TV/Radio ads that just say "Check The Box and Vote By Mail"

Mail back the request as soon as you receive it, because you don't want to be without a ballot on election day.

will have a much tougher time manipulating the vote totals and stealing another election.

Remember Karl Rove's televised meltdown when Obama won? That was a man who really, really, REALLY did not expect Obama to win.

Like the fix was already in type of not expecting Obama to win.


It was obvious then and it's obvious now.

IMO they have things in place where they can see that they could probably still steal a win in enough States by all their voter suppression tactics and machine hacking.

What they don't want is for the idea to pick up steam, and that there are louder calls in every State for mail in voting.

At first I thought Trump was setting up a "This election was a fraud!" scenario for November, but I now believe the GOP/Russia had something planned to turn votes to Trump, but the mail in wasn't something they planned on and won't be able to touch.
