Shouldn't a capitol hill house member know where his voting district is? One dude apparently thought fraudulent voting is okay.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday alarmed pro-democracy advocates once again by elevating his attacks on voting rights by falsely claiming that mail-in ballots are inherently "rigged" and suggested the results of the November general election would be illegitimate if a vote-by-mail system is used.
The president—who has long railed against supposed "voter fraud" despite multiple studies showing cases of fraudulent voting are "vanishingly rare" and nowhere near common enough to swing election results—took aim in his tweets at California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who issued an executive order earlier this month to send mail-in ballots to every registered voter in the state for the November election.
Trump tweeted that the order is unjust as it will allow "anyone living in the state," including people who "have never even thought of voting before" to cast ballots in the presidential election, suggesting that mobilizing first-time voters is a suspicious activity.
