Sen. Kamala Harris scolded President Donald Trump for threatening to withhold federal funds from states over absentee ballots, warning such an act would be illegal.
President Trump has been fighting every attempt for mail-in voting, saying the idea is ripe for fraud and it will ruin his chances at reelection.
However, Twitter highlighted two of Trump’s tweets falsely claiming mail-in ballots would lead to widespread voter fraud, adding a link providing facts about mail-in voting.
Last week, Trump tweeted Michigan sent its residents absentee ballots “illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State.”
Hours later, Trump deleted the tweet after multiple media outlets reported that the state sent absentee ballot applications to all residents, giving them the option to receive a ballot in the mail to vote in the Aug. 4 primary and Nov. 3 general election, instead of going to a polling place.
