At rallies and in social media posts, former President Donald Trump has been trying to assure Republican voters that casting ballots by mail and other forms of early voting are “all good options.”
How dare you! They are not hypocrites!!
Democrats are always wrong about everything, so who cares if you have to abandon logic, reality, and consistency in order for the world to make sense?!
Being objectively wrong is an insignificant price to pay when it still feels like you're right!
False, Republicans are still against mail in ballots because of the fraud that comes along with them such as this case https://www.yahoo.com/news/voter-fraud-confirmed-connecticut-mayoral-204851069.html but since we can't seem to do away with this flawed system, we're left with no choice but to start using it and the case I just referenced would've never come to light if not for a camera at a fire department across the street from one of the ballot boxes in which a fireman gave the video to a campaign. They later found out that video along with a couple of others at different locations would have been deleted after 30 days. 420 people turned in over 1200 ballots. Mail in voting and ballot boxes just brings in more ways to commit fraud
Btw, Trump didn't just make it up about the MSM lying. It's pretty obvious to anyone willing to venture outside the MSM bubble. Things like the Russia hoax, the burying of the Hunter laptop story, waiting until campaign season to bring every case they've got and then saying it's not political, or spending 3 years telling everyone the border is secure and closed, refusing to say certain words or phrases such as illegal alien, and anytime someone calls them out on something they just tell everyone you're a racist MAGA supporter, etc. are all examples of the fake news that Trump talks about.
Bolded for emphasis.
You have drank way too much of the Kool aid, bud. Trump isn't gonna let you suck his dick.
Unsurprising, yet predictable. There was not, in fact, any confirmation of fraud committed in the events of that story. Republicans remain opposed to, well, whatever they're told to oppose; petty concerns such as empirical evidence have no meaning to them.
Leading up to the Sept. 12 primary election, 420 people cast 1,255 absentee ballots at four drop boxes, the Deseret News reported. Under Connecticut law, absentee votes must be delivered either by relatives and caregivers or sent by mail, but surveillance footage shows a woman on Ganim’s campaign staff, allegedly Wanda Geter-Pataky, stuffing a ballot box with white envelopes.
As long as the votes are cast by registered voters, this just sounds like a stupid law that should be done away with, not a fraud issue.
What exactly does that mean? You have no choice but to use it to also commit fraud since you believe that’s the reason it’s used? In person poling places exist so it seems another choice exists.
I still remember the GOP trying to dismantle the USPS while trump was in office. Even destroying perfectly good equipment! Guess they had a change of heart?!?
Trump’s handpicked chair of the Republican National Committee, his daughter-in-law Lara Trump:
“In this election cycle, Republicans will beat Democrats at their own game, by leveraging every legal tactic at our disposal based on the rules of each state.”
So...taking part in an election according to the laws is the Democrats own game?
This was a huge problem even when Trump was running.
It's not like people tried to warn them, but I guess the idea that older generation that have a harder time moving around might actually want/need mail in ballots to vote.
You know, being considerate of your voters and such.
