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.

It is easier to intimidate voters when they gather in one place on one day. It’s just good time management!

🤮(these fucking people..)

No early voting is one step closer to no meaningful voting.

"No early voting! You have to go on election day and stand in line for 27 hours! No votes after election day can be counted! Oh we're also removing funding for poll locations, and we're limiting cities to one site for all ballot casting. Only cities though. Rural areas in red states are taking the funding and we're allowing all church going Christian Republicans two weeks to vote and we'll hand deliver their ballots."
