If vote by mail were subject to fraud then it would favor the less ethical party (i.e. the GOP).

Trump is well-aware of this and doesn't really believe what he claims. His real agenda is voter suppression.

Trump floats delaying election despite lack of authority to do so

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

Incidentally, I believe the stats show that it doesn't really favor one party over the other. It's just that it has been promoted mostly in blue states.

It works fine.

Putin's team has not yet found a way to alter sufficient number of ballots to make it worth while.

They will attack the data sums at the precincts.

The gop has long held an advantage with absentee votes. The FL gop has turned it into a massive advantage.

But the gop is no longer a thing separate from trump and his whims and narcissism. Trump decides what is good for the gop, even when it isn't.
