Trump says he's going to 'lead a movement' to get rid of mail-in ballots

41. Two funny things about that..

1. Trump himself has voted by mail in the past. Did he commit fraud?

2. Republicans (like those in NC) spent a decade promoting vote-by-mail, since it was a system that was used primarily by senior citizens (a group that leans Republican). For example, in the 2016 election in NC, there were 191,601 ballots cast by mail. Of those, 76,154 were requested by Republican voters, to 60,043 from Democratic voters.

In 2020 in NC, there were 1,001,596 ballots cast by mail! Of those, Dems outnumbered Republicans 445,396 to 207,750.

That's really what this is about. They don't really think voting by mail is wrong. If you're a Republican!

By the way, in 2024 the number of voters who voted by mail went back down to 298,007. Democrats still outnumbered Republicans, though: 103,725 to 76,083 (the largest group were Unaffiliated voters). This may not have their intended outcome: looks like they've poisoned vote-by-mail for Republicans, which doesn't bother me one bit!
