What does Trump have to say?
This year, the US postal service will be handling millions of mail-in ballots that hold the voters’ voice in the 2020 election. Thirty one states and the District of Columbia are requiring mail-in ballot signatures to be compared with the envelope to other papers inside. Eighty one states are required by law to notify a person if there is something wrong with the signature. Donald Trump says that the mail in ballots are subject to fraud. Election expert Nate Persily states that this concern is overot if history is a guide. Trump tweets, "Mail-In Ballot fraud found in many elections. People are just now seeing how bad, dishonest and slow it is. Election results could be delayed for months. No more big election night answers? 1% not even counted in 2016. Ridiculous! Just a formula for RIGGING an Election,Absentee Ballots are fine because you have to go through a precise process to get your voting privilege. Not so with Mail-Ins. Rigged Election!!! 20% fraudulent ballots?" Other than accusing mail-in ballots to be frauds, Trump is claiming the election to be rigged and that 20% of votes would be “fraudulent ballots.” Past elections allowed mail in voting, not just this year. Past mail-in voting was most of the time not a “fraud.”
