Trump Urges Republicans to Vote by Mail Despite Past Attacks
President Trump urged Republicans to vote by mail despite years of calling the practice corrupt and fraud prone.
President Donald Trump is urging Republicans to vote by mail in the upcoming midterm elections, a stance that contrasts with his long-standing criticism of mail-in voting as insecure and prone to fraud. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump encouraged Republicans to utilize all available voting methods, including early voting, absentee voting, mail-in voting, and in-person voting, in an effort to secure a strong turnout ahead of the November 3 election.
The president's message can be found on his Swamp the Vote website, which provides information on how and where to cast ballots. This shift in position comes after the Supreme Court struck down Trump's administration's efforts to restrict mail-in voting. Despite his recent endorsement of mail voting, Trump has previously described mail-in ballots as inherently corrupt and a nation-destroying scam.
