    Default Trump says mail-in voting is top threat to his re-election

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said expanded mail-in voting could cost him re-election in November, according to a Politico interview published on Friday, as states continue to press for absentee balloting amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.

    Trump and his fellow Republicans have said voting by mail invites tampering, although numerous studies have found little evidence of widespread voter fraud connected to mail-in balloting, and have filed lawsuits and threatened to withhold federal funding over the issue.

    Yeah. More people voting IS a threat to his re-election. (no brainer)

    If you do not think that vote by mail will be corrupted by Democrats there is no helping you! Every registered voter will vote whether they actually did or not! There will back rooms as usual with dem operatives filling out ballots for people who did not ask for a ballot, life long republicans who may not vote will even end up voting for Biden!

    Trump is the most corrupt President in US history.

    Mail in voting is easier and profoundly safer than in person voting. Trump is worried that more people will vote. Seems obvious.

    I was reading an article from Real Clear Politics that between 2012 and 2018 28.3 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for.

    Are they the only political party in any western democracy on the planet which actually fears high voter participation?

    Trump is worried that if more people vote he will lose the election. Seems obvious.

    Beyond the fact that you probably don't realize you are repeating yourself is there any evidence to suggest that more voters necessarily means more dem votes?
