Even as he cast ballots by mail himself and launched messaging campaigns encouraging his supporters to do the same, Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to eliminate mail-in voting altogether, baselessly casting doubt on the legitimacy of mail-in votes.
Now he appears to be calling for the end of all forms of early voting.
After publicly demanding the prosecution of his political enemies, Trump encouraged the Department of Justice to investigate the outcome of the 2020 presidential election with gusto and signaled that the biggest SCANDAL in American history will happen again unless the government eliminates early voting.
Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our President! he wrote on Truth Social. We now know everything. I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much gusto as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history! If not, it will happen again, including the upcoming Midterms. No mail-in or Early Voting, Yes to Voter ID!
