President Donald Trump has been casting doubt on mail-in voting ahead of the midterm elections, despite urging Republicans to vote by any means necessary. During a White House meeting with Tina Peters, a 2020 election denier recently granted clemency by Colorado’s governor, Trump reiterated his unfounded claims of mail-in voting fraud. While speaking to reporters, he encouraged voting by mail or in person, despite his previous allegations of cheating. Trump has voted by mail himself and has been involved in legal challenges regarding mail-in ballot rules. His administration’s appeal to change mail ballot rules was rejected by the Supreme Court. Trump continues to push for a strong Republican turnout to influence the direction of his presidency’s final years.
