Not surprised. I’m sure he’ll claim it’s due to “voter fraud” but many places vote by mail without issue.

"Voter fraud" always just means those kinds of people voting

Colorado votes by mail and it's regarded as the gold standard in regards to integrity and efficiency.

Integrity? Efficiency? Sounds like FRAUD to me!

Anyone else remember when Rump said the quiet part out loud and if more people voted "you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again"?

WA state has vote by mail, and every registered voter gets an informational booklet detailing the candidates.

I’ve never heard of any issues here.

Guys, it was never really about voter fraud. They are now trying to raise the voting age to 25! Like, this is all math for them. They know like 1 in 5 real people support them (mainly people over 60), so they need to make sure only 3 in 10 people get a chance to vote and that those people are their people, suppress suppress and suppress the vote.
