If I didn’t demand that National Guard Troops go into Minneapolis after watching how poorly the Liberal Democrat government was handling things, you wouldn’t even have a Minneapolis now. Once they were deployed, in force, all looting, burning and crime stopped DEAD!

Vote-by-mail is one way that we can make voting safer in the midst of the #Coronavirus pandemic. We’ve even seen increased turnout thanks to vote-by-mail in states including NE, MT, and ID. But there are significant barriers to making sure that all ballots are received + counted.

In anticipation of a vote-by-mail surge in November, we filed FOIA requests w/USPS to make sure they’re planning for #2020election NOW. These docs can help us determine whether USPS is fulfilling its duty to the American people.

These docs include any planning docs that govern outreach to states and counties, records relating to communications with election vendors, info about training mail carriers for November, and more. https://t.co/vfsmjbcp5R

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....
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 10, 2020
....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?

The playbook: Trump loses close election, says it was rigged based on high percentage of people voting legitimately by mail because of COVID-19, weaponizes DOJ for legal challenges everywhere, revs up armed base and federal law enf around the country (eg Portland). https://t.co/fLktzNaSko

Free + fair elections are a cornerstone of democracy. But if voters can't safely vote during the #COVID19 pandemic, an election isn't free or fair.

With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???

Trump has discouraged Republicans from voting by mail, meaning that the election night results will tilt Red. The final results in many key states will likely be very, very different. Trump is now trying to lay the groundwork for stealing the election or destroying its legitimacy
