President Donald Trump is adamant mail-in voting is going to jeopardize the upcoming November presidential election.
During his press briefing on Wednesday, Trump launched another attack on mail-in voting and claimed it is more of a threat to election security and integrity than foreign interference.
âOur biggest threat to this election is governors from opposing parties controlling ballots, millions of ballots,â Trump said.
He continued, âTo me, thatâs a much bigger threat than foreign countries because much of the stuff coming out about foreign countries turned out to be untrue.â
Watch his comments below:
Trump claimed the ballots âwill be stolen.â
He questioned where they are going and where they are coming from.
âItâs very dangerous for our country. And you know who knows that better than anybody? The Democrats,â Trump said.
During a phone call to âFox & Friendsâ on Tuesday morning, Trump declared the election would be rigged, as IJR previously reported.
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) accused Trump of âtaking reckless and selfish actions that are putting countless lives in danger here in Nevadaâ after he held his rally there on Sunday.
âThe one thing we canât beat if they cheat on the ballots. Now will cheat on the ballots. I have no doubt about it. This is the same man who is in charge of the ballots,â Trump said.
Former Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence Sue Gordon warned on Sunday Trumpâs message on mail-in voting is only helping Russia, as IJR previously reported.
Gordon told CBS News that Trumpâs message âthat you canât trust our system, that you canât trust the vote, that you canât trust the other party that you canât trust is exactly what the Russians particularly hope to achieve.â
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also warned Russia is attempting to undermine the confidence Americans have in mail-in voting.
