Even as he cast ballots by mail himself and launched messaging campaigns encouraging his supporters to do the same, Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to eliminate mail-in voting altogether, baselessly casting doubt on the legitimacy of mail-in votes.

Now he appears to be calling for the end of all forms of early voting.

After publicly demanding the prosecution of his political enemies, Trump encouraged the Department of Justice to investigate the outcome of the 2020 presidential election with “gusto” — and signaled that the “biggest SCANDAL in American history” will “happen again” unless the government eliminates early voting.

    I’ve filled out my mail-in ballot but I’m seriously considering physically voting on November 4th instead of mailing it in.

    As a white California resident I don’t feel I’ll be targeted by the racist “watchers” but I am worried about my mail-in vote being nullified.

        You haven’t been in some of those red-dirt, cousin-marryin’ mountain counties if you think they’re any less rabid. I have family up there and they’re no different than other family members who are heavily armed preppers holed up in the Idaho mountains with big stockpiles of canned goods and 12-gauge shells.
