https://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/video/trump-discouraging-turnout-party-nate-silver-71867468Trump is discouraging his supporters from voting by mail, and that means that many of his elderly supporters will not vote in person or by mail.
The evil part of my mind wonders if this could be a psyops operation against Republican voters. In states that do use mail in ballots, Trump's supporters rejecting mail in ballots would result in lower participation.
On the other hand, thinking about reducing participation of the other party makes me feel like a Republican.
Maybe we should just let Trump discourage his own voters from voting.

I think Trump wants to depress the vote, but also is scared of paper ballots?!

I would think since dotard voters are so superstitious and easily fooled that they would shy away from mail in ballots much more so than dems

He seems to be adamant about people voting in person which would mean more votes by touch screen, which are more easy to manipulate?
Trump is screwed if there is a paper trail.
