Donald Trump's campaign manager didn't vote for Donald Trump in 2016

Brad Parscale, Donald Trump's campaign manager, did not vote for President Trump in 2016. In fact, he didn't vote in the general election at all, according to election records obtained by CBS News.

Bexar County, Texas Election Department documents show Parscale, then a San Antonio resident, voted in the 2016 primary but not in the general election. He did cast a ballot in the 2012 and 2018 federal elections. And his 2018 vote was submitted by mail.

"In 2016, I was in New York working to elect Donald Trump and encountered a series of problems receiving my absentee ballot from Texas and missed the deadline," Parscale said in a statement to CBS News. "Just further proof that vote-by-mail is not the flawless solution Democrats and the media pretend it is."


President Trump, who voted by mail in the 2020 Florida primary, has complained the expansion of vote-by-mail is a gateway to fraud as states grapple with holding elections this fall amid the coronavirus pandemic. California's governor signed a bill Friday that mandates sending mail-in ballots to all registered voters.

Now in 2020, he’ll vote meaning we will need even another vote in Texas to win.

receiving his ballot was really him not paying attention and filling out the application incorrectly or sending for it too late?

Maybe he wasn't sure where he would be and just put it off. The application must be received 11 days before the election. The ballot must be received by 7 pm on election day.

He was saying that they are going to deliver 100 million votes for Trump with a new weapon that will communicate directly with the population without going through the media. And then in the same day I read that they fired all the Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free everywhere teams, Pulitzer prize winners, rigorously apolitical, and replacedcwcacDteve Bannon acolyte.
