Trump himself voted by mail just last month.
Donald Trump and his Republican allies have been on a crusade against voting by mail a method gaining steam as the COVID-19 pandemic makes in-person voting unsafe.
Trump falsely said in an April 7 briefing that absentee voting is a "dangerous thing for this country," adding that people who vote-by-mail are "cheaters" and that mail-in ballots are "fraudulent."
