Donald Trump's blatant hypocrisy on voting by mail
Time to get Chris Kobach back on the job. I suspect Kobach and Trump were talking just before Trump tweeted:
"Well there's a big difference between somebody that's out of state and does a ballot and everything's sealed, certified and everything else," he said Tuesday. "You see what you have to do with the certifications. And you get thousands and thousands of people sitting in somebody's living room signing ballots all over the place."
"He echoed that sentiment in a tweet on Wednesday morning -- apparently while watching "Fox & Friends:
"Republicans should fight very hard when it comes to state wide mail-in voting. Democrats are clamoring for it. Tremendous potential for voter fraud, and for whatever reason, doesn't work out well for Republicans. @foxandfriends"
While Trump has long been fixated on so-called voter fraud by Democrats -- he formed (and then disbanded) a commission early in his presidency to examine voting irregularities -- there is very, very little evidence of any sort of widespread voter fraud in the country."
IMHO opinion, and not just my own, the rigged system talk will be another Trump campaign talking point.

Donald Trump's blatant hypocrisy on voting by mail | CNN Politics
During his daily coronavirus briefing on Tuesday, President Donald Trump made very clear that voting by mail -- an alternative many are suggesting to deal with the ongoing stay-at-home directives -- is a very bad thing. And more than that, he suggested, it's deeply corrupt.
