Because they can't win if they don't cheat

President Donald Trump on Wednesday stepped up his campaign against absentee voting in the United States by threatening to withhold unspecified federal funding from two states that recently moved to make the practice easier because of the coronavirus pandemic.

  

Despicable. And, frankly, I don't believe he could actually get away with it, but the threat is despicable.

The GOP is the party of voter suppression. This is not democracy.

In a pair of tweets, the president attacked officials in both Michigan and Nevada for their plans to expand mail-in voting in upcoming primaries in those states and the general election in November. Trump, without citing a specific law, called the moves "illegal".

He didn't cite a law because there isn't one. He likes to have his base think evverything done that he doesn't like is illegal so they'll take up arms when his reign is threatened.

Despicable, untrue and ignorant.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on Tuesday said all 7.7 million Michigan voters would receive absentee ballot applications - not the ballots themselves, as Trump alleged - before the state's August 4 primary and the November 3 general election, so that no one "has to choose between their health and their right to vote".

Benson said the money to help speed the process along came from $11.2m it received from the federal government for elections.

Heads will roll for that.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
