(Bloomberg) -- State and local officials are playing with fire if they rely on sending out tens of thousands of mail-in ballots for the November election, Attorney General William Barr said, without providing evidence that theres a risk to a process long used in the U.S.
The nations top law enforcement officer weighed in on an issue frequently raised by President Donald Trump, who has said the election will be rigged against him if officials allow the broad use of mail-in ballots in response to health concerns during the Covid-19 pandemic. Thats despite Trump having submitted vote-by-mail ballots previously, and states such as Oregon having a track record of conducting their elections solely by mail.
We havent had the kind of widespread use of mail-in ballots thats being proposed, Barr said Wednesday on CNNs The Situation Room. Now what were talking about is mailing them to everyone on the voter list when everyone knows those voter lists are inaccurate.
You think thats a way to run a vote? added Barr, 70, who took office in 2019 as the second attorney general under Trump.

(143,999 posts)I was in the voter protection war room and an election judge called me and asked if trying to vote twice was against the law. A trump supporter insisted that he had the right to vote twice. We had a room full of lawyers and fed the election judge with the provision of the Texas Election Code that made it a crime to vote twice. This idiot was arrested and this arrest made the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/01/0-000002-percent-of-all-the-ballots-cast-in-the-2016-election-were-fraudulent/
BTW, his second vote was not registered. The mere attempt to vote twice was a crime
