Trump campaign lawyer who swiped at voting by mail has done so three times

CNN)A top Trump campaign adviser and lawyer who has criticized voting-by-mail and warned without evidence that it could lead to election fraud previously voted by mail at least three times.

Jenna Ellis voted by mail in Colorado in 2012, 2013 and 2014, according to public records obtained by CNN's KFile.

Colorado is one of five states that conducts its elections entirely by mail. The state sends a ballot to every registered voter by mail and the voter returns a cast ballot in a signed envelope to their local county clerk's office. (Voters can also vote in person at the ballot box if they prefer.)

Multiple studies have confirmed that voter fraud is exceedingly rare, including mail voting. One in four votes in the 2018 election were cast with mail-in ballots, and a number of states are gearing up to send mail-in ballots to voters this November, citing safety concern from the coronavirus pandemic.

Even tRump said he votes "Absentee" and it's just fine...

But according to him, Vote by Mail will lead to massive fraud, like nobody told him it's the same thing? Oh yeah, he can't LEARN anything... according to his own niece (so it's true).

By focussing on Maxwell. She's in remand and will remain so for a year.

Would you care to enumerate the reasons that 'taking advantage' of the Maxwell news, over say, the pandemic, needless deaths, maladministration, corruption for which the Trump cabal is responsible would benefit Democrats?
