Trump Recommends That Voters Use Absentee Ballots--Which Are Mailed In

Trump Urges Voters To Use Absentee Ballots, Which Are, Uh, Mailed In
“It’s actually a great thing, absentee ballots. I’m going to be voting absentee,” the president said a day after attacking the integrity of mail-in voting.



After railing about “fraudulent” mail-in ballots without any basis in fact, President Donald Trump bizarrely urged Americans on Friday to use absentee ballots — which are mailed in.

“People should go and they should vote — or do it absentee ballot,” he told reporters Friday, a day after he floated delaying the election.

Absentee ballots “are great because absentee ballots you have to go through a process to get ’em,” Trump explained. “It’s actually a great thing, absentee ballots. I’m going to be voting absentee,” Trump told reporters.

Voters have to go through a process for any mail-in ballots.

He's confused, sends many mixed messages, contradictory, inflammatory, etc. in everything.

But in this case he knows what he's saying. "OK for us, not them; not for just anyone."

I say: we will vote him out!

I mean, other than the fact that you can put a stamp on the ballot and drop it in a mail box. Other than that, there's no "vote by mail".
