Trump Accuses Newsom Of “Rigging” Mail-In Voting

The Washington Examiner reports:



President Trump is unhappy about California’s decision to send every resident of the state a mail-in ballot for the upcoming election. Tweeting on Saturday morning, Trump said the California election will be “rigged” after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Friday his plan to send more than 20 million voters a ballot in the mail.

The new measures were adopted due to concerns about the coronavirus, which some experts claim will return in a “very acute second wave” this fall. Republicans, including Trump, have rejected the idea of allowing mail-in voting because they believe it could lead to “tremendous potential for voter fraud.”
