'Trying to use Covid for this Scam!'
President Trump escalated attacks against mail-in voting Sunday, claiming in a tweet that the practice would cause the “greatest Rigged Election” in history and that coronavirus is being used “for this Scam,” despite scant evidence that the practice leads to fraud—and intensifying a political flashpoint ahead of November’s election as Trump seeks a second term.
“Trying to use Covid for this Scam!” Trump also wrote in what appears to be the first time he’s connected the coronavirus outbreak to mail-in voting, without clarifying which person are allegedly responsible.Sunday’s claims come four days after Trump threatened to withhold federal funding from Michigan and Nevada over their efforts to help citizens vote by mail amid the pandemic; Trump later backed off the threats.
Trump has ramped up his attacks on voting by mail and encouraged Republicans to fight against it since first tweeting about it April 8., as they believe it gives Democrats an advantage, while Democrats say it gives more people the chance to participate in elections.Trump’s claims about rigged democratic processes have been a thread throughout his first term.
