Trump is Lying About Vote By Mail and Is Trying to Suppress the Vote. A 17 part
Yesterday @realDonaldTrump said that there was a BIG difference between voting by mail-in and voting by absentee?
He lied (again).
Here's what the @GOP and Trump told a federal court.
When an election is on the line, spreading lies and disinformation about “widespread voter fraud” has been @realdonaldtrump’s go-to strategy from the very beginning.
His 2016 rallying cry: “millions of people voted illegally.”

On top of countless studies showing ZERO proof of voter fraud, for whatever it’s worth, even @LindseyGrahamSC urged @realdonaldtrump to “knock this off.”
Yet he continued his crusade...

Desperate to prove a point, Trump invited all of the best voter suppressors in town to the White House and launched the quickly-disbanded Presidential Commission on Election Integrity.
The results: NO findings of voter fraud.

Four years later, Trump is back at his favorite game of voter suppression. But this time, the @GOP has agreed to step in to help.
This year's theme: an all-out attack on vote by mail.
Why? Because they’re terrified of losing in November. (5/17) https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/as-trump-attacks-voting-by-mail-gop-builds-2020-strategy-around-limiting-its-expansion/2020/05/31/a17ccfa0-a00d-11ea-b5c9-570a91917d8d_story.html

** Enter the #VoterSuppressorInChief **
@realdonaldtrump has repeatedly turned to his Twitter bully pulpit to tout false claims of voter fraud and sow confusion around our voting processes.
Just a few of many recent examples (6/17)

And of course, all of these false claims were met with fact-check after fact-check, proving them untrue.
One of many by @NPR’s @MilesParks:

Even @Twitter stepped in and flagged Trump’s outright lie about vote by mail, which of course he did not like. (8/17) https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/26/tech/twitter-trump-fact-check/index.html
And recently, Trump launched his latest disinformation campaign by drawing false distinctions between “mail in” and “absentee” ballots.
He is deliberately doing this to confuse people. (9/17)

. @factcheckdotorg set the record straight
“Mail-in” and “absentee” ballots mean virtually the same thing. (10/17) https://www.factcheck.org/2020/06/trumps-absentee-vs-mail-in-ballot-spin/

Yesterday, @realdonaldtrump fired off his latest round of attacks on vote by mail, once again tweeting misleading distinctions between “absentee” and “mail-in” ballots.
As Trump and the @GOP admitted in court
THEY
MEAN THE SAME THING.

And just as Trump Campaign Sr. Counsel Justin Clark admitted on @60Minutes, all of this is because more people voting is a threat to the President’s election.

It’s why the Trump Campaign and RNC are investing $20 million in a voter suppression war chest to combat our voting rights lawsuits in court. (13/17) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/07/us/2020-election-laws.html

It’s why the @GOP is recruiting and training 50,000 “poll watchers” to intimidate voters in minority communities. (14/17)

It’s why Republican state parties like the @NCGOP are erecting new barriers to casting a ballot every day.

My 35+ voting rights cases are an early warning: @realdonaldtrump's assault on our democracy won’t go unchecked.
Together, we will take down the #VoterSuppressionParty of Trump.
Because in 2020 Democracy is on the Docket. (17/17) https://www.democracydocket.com/
