Trump demands an end to mail in ballots except for disabled and military

"All Republican Governors should immediately begin the process of ENDING MAIL IN BALLOTS (which are fraught with corruption, and always will be!) EXCEPT FOR FAR AWAY MILITARY AND PEOPLE WITH A PROVEN ILLNESS, GETTING VOTER I.D. AND SAME DAY VOTING WITH ALL PAPER BALLOTS,"

Trump wrote.

"This effort should be all out and start immediately. Governors have the power and authority to do this. GET IT DONE, or we will never have honest elections in our Country again!"

More voter suppression. Fortunately he's now a private citizen.

Does anyone really care what whatshisname demands anymore?

Well, some things never change. He is still full of himself, though I think he is living in the past when a lot of people jumped every time he "demanded" something.

Whether mailed or not. It's actually harder to get occasional/nonvoters to vote by mail than it is to get them to show up in person. So if they move forward with this bullshit, they'll only be hurting themselves.

Or travel nurses, or people who can't take time off work to vote?
Aw heck, he'll complain about people voting in person with fake IDs and voter registration fraud.
It doesn't matter, he doesn't want anyone to vote, period.

In 1998, voters in Oregon passed an initiative requiring that all elections be conducted by mail. Voters may also drop their ballots off at a county designated official drop site. Oregon has since reduced the cost of elections, and the time available to tally votes has increased. Initially, Oregon required receipt of votes by 8:00 pm local time on election day. But starting with the general election in 2020, ballots needed to be postmarked by Election Day. Also starting then, pre-paid postage envelopes were included with the ballots. Voter turnout in Oregon is among the highest in the United States.[67]

I don't know the answer, but it's at least as many years as he has claimed Florida as his residence - probably more. What a hypocritical liar he is!
