U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agrees with him that letting voters send in ballots by mail puts honest elections at risk.
“Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can’t have an honest election with mail-in voting,” Trump told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” after a nearly three-hour meeting between the leaders in Alaska. “He said there’s not a country in the world that uses it now.”
Just to provide some non-sarcastic comments mail-in voting is a source of liberty and democracy for the citizens of the United States. It is a stalwart safeguard against being bullied and harassed at the polls.
Don’t you feel better when you’re protected by ICE at the polls and they make sure you’re not accidentally voting while looking un-American?
It also protects against intentionally underfunding polling locations in minority areas to suppress votes. No one should ever need to learn the phrase “if you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line”, because voting backups shouldn’t exist in the first place.
