Donald Trump launches another attack on mail-in voting with rant against 'illegal late night coup' in Nevada while Republicans worry his onslaught will hurt them in ballot box in November

President Donald Trump on Monday launched another attack on mail-in voting, accusing Nevada of conducting an 'illegal late night coup' with its decision to embrace that option as Republicans fret Trump's salvos could hurt them at the ballot box in November.

Lawmakers in Nevada on Sunday passed a bill to have November's vote be conducted by all mail-in ballots. The governor is expected to sign it, meaning Nevada will join several other states that have taken that option as a way to combat thecoronavirus epidemic.

Trump and Republicans have warned that such moves will lead to voter fraud despite repeated studies that show that is not the case. The president decried Nevada's move in a tweet Monday morning. The state is a critical one for November's election.

States are granted control over voting via the constitution. Plain and simple.

Everything he does hurts them at the ballot box.

On Election Day we all await the results whether that night or early morning. Well think about this when mail in ballots are used. It may take months to count all mail in ballots - there is a time limit after the election to allow for late ballots. What do you think will happen next. The losing party will find more and more late ballots until they get a winning number. Keeping counting until I win. Is that what this country wants - I don't think so! Trump has an excellent point and the Democrats know they have to cheat to win.

Democrats talk about every vote should be counted. Yet every Election. How many votes are lost, mishandled, or thrown out for not being legal?? Yeah every vote counts. LMAO. Democrats are nothing more than a corrupt, RACIST, and bigotry Enterprise.

Just like the dumocrats pushing no ID to VOTE. You need to show ID for everything these day's. But the corrupt dumocrats need the illegal immigrant vote. That's why in States where you must show ID. They are handing out drivers license to illegal immigrants. This just like mail in voting is just another corrupt way for dumocrats to try to win. It never stops with these POS.

Dumbocrats have taken the mask off. The curtain has been pulled back. They want power and will do anything to get it including trashing the economy, killing seniors in nursing homes, out and out cheating at elections.
And trying a coup to take Trump out of office.

Northwest Woodsman: That “ studies have shown” that voting fraud is not common is complete bull excrement. Voting fraud is easily covered up by those maintaining the polls which always seem to be democrats. How many times in the past when an election is close, have bags of votes shown up that always favor the democrat candidate? It is rampant because the marxists are not willing to change a system that favors them. Investigations and conversations with conservative poll watchers verifies that fraud is rampant but those in charge are satisfied with the current system that favors them. How in the world can you trust a system that doesn’t require ID to verify eligibility?

This is smoke and mirrors.

Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, and Utah conduct all elections almost ENTIRELY by mail and have for years.

This is noise, this is distraction. Stop buying into the conspiracy and the rhetoric.

The applications for mail in voting sent out by REPUBLICANS and TRUMP state right on the application for mail in voting that it is EASY, SAFE, AND SECURE. Look up the North Carolina application... Trumps name is emblazoned right on it, right above "easy, safe, and secure."

You are being used by a grifter, and this is just his newest con.
