Brad Parscale, then a Texas resident, oversaw Trump's digital operation in 2016 and became the reelection campaign manager in 2018. Election documents in Texas reviewed by"In 2016, I was in New York working to elect Donald Trump and encountered a series of problems receiving my absentee ballot from Texas and missed the deadline," Parscale said in a statement, arguing that the issues underscored problems with mail-in voting.
Trump has complained about Democratic proposals to increase the availability of mail-in ballots during the coronavirus pandemic, arguing it is more susceptible to fraud. "There’s a vast difference between voting absentee by mail when you can’t get to the polls on election day versus mailing every registered voter a ballot, even those who didn’t request one," Parscale said."The media thinks they’re playing ‘gotcha’ by purposefully ignoring that difference."
