"My buddy in NC, a registered Democrat, just got this in the mail"

This North Carolina Trump Victory mailer telling people to request a ballot in the mail blurs out the second half of Trump's tweet, which in part reads "Bad things happen with Mail-Ins."



Republicans are getting these as well. Why tell the voters in your party to request mail in ballots and then try to sabotage them?

4. I just read a dkos blog about this: What if those envelopes get 1st class treatment

in certain parts of the country?

But as I flipped and flopped the form, (which is pre-addressed to my local Board of Elections) I became aware that if I filled out the application form enclosed on the single page tri-folded mailer, it would be easily distinguishable with his picture or design on the outside of the form. Each form is designed to be folded in half when completed. On the back side of one form would appear Trump’s picture. On the backside of the other form are instructions for filling out the form with matching background and font colors of the mailer (white font on black background or black font on yellow background) , neither of which appeared on the application form I have already received from my State Board of Elections. Is this a bug or a feature? Is this some kind of identifier?
