California wants to send mail-in ballots to all registered voters ahead of the 2020 election due to the coronavirus pandemic, a move that President Donald Trump is continuously attacking — saying it will lead to a fraudulent and rigged election. Chris Cillizza explains why the widespread election fraud Trump claims will happen is, well, unlikely.

Hey Chris.Why are You Hate Voter ID?
Because he knows he’ll lose
If you say so . https://amp.detroitnews.com/amp/2416101001
@kiwiLover896 trumps approval rating is in the tank from his disastrous failure of covid….100k dead America wont forget come November..if he could stay off his childish Twitter account and keep his vile mouth shut…it might be close but we all know that he can’t help himself from being a sociopath
@None nope BIDEN 2020 MFER!!!!
Drew K You’re overly emotional, you’d better prep by panic buying some tissues.
Those tears will be flowing in November😭😭😭😭
Btw, he’s just given the order warning social media they must allow full free speech.
You’re going to witness an exponential rise in opposing voices, just in time for November.
Good luck.
@Philipe Jones who cares wtf humpty dumpty signs..hes just pissed because he spreads fake news on Twitter and they called him on it…trump is a child sociopath
Is it true that Ivanka invested in Chinese Voting Machines? Hmmm?
BIDEN 2020!!!
@Wild One really? The people safely going to Walmart, HomeDepot and supermarkets are the same people who can vote at the polls.
Yes, shes got trademarks on coffins made in China too. Nor sure about body bags.
NO. it isn’t
Rose Johnson-Tsosie That was Joe China Biden’s sons Chinese investment company.
Trump needs something to blame when he loses reelection other than his own failure.
Blame the fraud of this scam mail in ballots . I can’t vote Demoncrats in this 🇺🇸 not sell out China nor Russia just can’t ! Keep pushing Biden if you hate America .
@erwinsm10 ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZ what did u say? ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ
@Bob Pineo trump won because he had Russia to rigg the election for him
@jm8373 Donald Trump is a moron he ignored the virus from the beginning
@No One Donald Trump is a joke
I guess Donald just projected that he will be hiring professionals to engage in voter fraud.
Democrats have a business of doing that…you are welcome
Yeah the Democrats already have taken the dead
Just remember mayor Richard p daily Democrat vote early vote often
1. Reports of vote-by-mail ballots undelivered, tossed aside by postal workers. 2. Close Results In Paterson Vote Plagued By Fraud Claims; Over 3K Ballots Seemingly Set Aside. 3. Former Philadelphia Judge of Elections Indicted for Election Fraud in Favor of Democrats 4. 19 Arrests Later, a Texas Town Is Torn Apart Over Voter Fraud. 5. Texas border mayor charged for voter fraud, accused of rigging his own election
Kim Cleven YOU are projecting your stupidity! He’s AGAINST mail in Voting.
@Benjamin Franklin no they dont russians are the reason trump is president now trump cant win an election without having someone to rigg it for him
Wait this is the same guy who called the covid 19 “a Democraic Hoax”. After 100,000 U.S. deaths, 1 hell of a Democratic Hoax HUH..
@Jacob Calham “Did CNN tell you he said it was a hoax?” Nope, watched him say it on Fox.
Uneducated.
Sad thing is Republicans where I live believe it’s still a hoax
@Kylar Lee Yep thats why Trumpy won’t let anyone see his grades that he got in school. Because his daddy bribed his way through school….
Out of those 100,000 how many of them were just labeled Covid? Even Italy admitted to padding the numbers.
Trump will need something to hold onto as he’s dragged out of the office. It will be great.
@Mr407Mike Their immoral authoritarian brains love their dictators.
@Troy Stocker the funny thing is, the only ballot harvesting shown had been by the Republicans in NC, most recently.
@Alla Veles Wait, which country are you from? If you need help understanding the constitution I’m sure we can help you.
cyanleopard At least we can be sure HIS wife WILL NOT try to STEAL the silverware.
cyanleopard Your candidate Joe Alzheimer’s Biden is really bringing out the voters. His bathroom rally’s were really inspiring. Still haven’t heard a single policy to make the country better. I’m sure he’ll come up with something before Nov.
It’s rigged. Unless we win.
Donny and his MAGAts in 2016
It’s rigged. Unless we win.
Nancy and the Lefties 2020
@Kiên Ng Trump rigged the primaries 10x over what the DNC cultists did? Lol Trump married his brother 10x more than ilhan Omar? Lol
@Greg Bors lol. Yes, the DNC cult did rig it’s primary in 2016. Why did Debbie Wasserman Schultz resign from head of the DNC cult? Lol. How did fish fingers Biden win over Bernie? Lol
@Mueller Time Well , dirty Donnie did sleep with his daughter and rape a 13 year old at one of Epstein’s parties , but only after Jeff drugged her and tied her down first … such a manly man in his corset, wig , make up and his tiny little high heeled pumps , makes him a little taller than the First Hooker
@wee huddy oh yeah? Where is your proof? Remember when Trump accuser E Jean Carrol called rape sexy on Anderson Cooper’s show? Lol. Your TDS will end up killing you.
Have you accepted Trump as your president yet?
…and he cheats at golf! 🇺🇸
@THE ANGRY QUAD But trump cheats “bigly” 🤣
@THE ANGRY QUAD No, they don’t. Some has pride in what they do.
illegal?
Benjamin Franklin immoral! Unbecoming, revealing…
@maxhugen Go Big or Go Home!
Imagine thinking the only way to commit voter fraud is by pretending you’re someone else at a poll…
Voter fraud ain’t a thing.
If I owned twitter, I’d shut it down till January. Watch him implode
Twitter is making money on trump, what stop him they don’t have the balls
Well you do not, if you did you would not be making comments on Youtube lol
Or just shut down trumps account. Like they do so many others.
that would be amazing. IMHO. 24 hours would do it…
Nino Almighty – Trump has the same right as you do to freedom of speech.
Pushing to make voter registration mandatory in Colorado. And everyone gets a mail in ballot.
@Jeremy Jones To late, but mail in has never been found to have any fraud. #trumpvirus
@hunkey monkey Thanks for a bunch of fake news trumptard. #trumpvirus
Not only would Mandatory registration be Unconstitutional it would make way too many unwanted and unused ballots available to cheaters. The only people who want that are cheaters.
@Kate Linwood and yet, the facts pointed out to you in this video say otherwise.
aztecstargazer So that Democrats can have illegals vote by mail and cheat.
It’s easy to shut him up if he’s in handcuffs… just a thought. There’s plenty of evidence to do that on multiple counts… so let’s just do it. The longer he whines about his unfair world bubble that surrounds EXACTLY 1, the longer we ALL have to suffer. Time to throw away the key.
VOTE Blue in november!!
“Some would say” that “handcuffs are too good for The Donald.” A yoke may be more appropriate.
I’m sure you will be in handcuffs way before him with your Pedophile addiction
At least in handcuffs he can’t use his ‘invisible tiny lying accordion’: he’ll lose the ability to make his followers believe him (it’s a lying hand/tiny mind connection).
Handcuffs and a firm knee to his neck would shut him up; guaranteed.
I feel like he’s only saying this just so the electronic ballots can get hacked..?? Hmm… 🤔
Agree. Jared and Ivanka’s Chinese made voting machines.
Military votes by mail. I guess they’re frauds and cheats, also….🤭.
@Chaud Poivron 👈”useful idiot”
@Austin Jackson 👈”useful idiot”
@Kate Linwood largest or smallest, democrat or republican, it all needs to be stopped. Both sides have done it and the loopholes need to be patched up
@Austin Jackson well i dun really care, all i care is Joe winning in November and like i said, ill be here consoleing you. Please do the same for me if Trump won ok?😃
@Solonavi aye i got respect that you admitted it ill give u that 😂😂😂 i never expected a democrat to admit mail in ballots will cause major fraud and that its only Democrats that want mail in ballot…..so i give you major creds for that 😂😂😂😂 but no i hope u cry yourself to sleep for the next 4 1/2 years of Trump 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 ……and don’t forget about the debates 😂😂😂 joe cant even do a 15min skype without telling black people they are not black if they don’t vote for him….so just imagine what is going to happen during the debate 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it is going to be the best moment in political history 😂😂😂
Mail-in vote can´t be hacked by Rusia…
Lol. Russia didn’t hack anything. There is no definitive proof. CNN didn’t report on it though because well….they are propagandists
Exactly! Hence Trump’s hysteria. What a sick man he is!
hunkey monkey seems like you are the one that is ill informed*. Haha
@Jeremy Jones 👈”useful idiot”
@hunkey monkey 👈”useful idiot”
‘Cause he has dementia. He’s fixates on things.
Yes! Joe Biden does seem to do that 🤔
No cause they can manipulate it easily
I wish everyone would call/tweet “LOSER”.
Pretty sure that would make him lose it.
Let’s rally, folks!
I’m not pro trump but I don’t see Biden having any chance of winning
Yes lets rally and then VOTE AMERICA 💙
Adrian neither did I as a hold out progressive until Trumps recent executive order. Today he committed suicide with his open tantrum over being fact checked as he attempts to suppress votes.
Adrian so all the current numbers and polls even the one by trump news, I mean Fox News are wrong? They show Biden winning easily.
I completely agree that is going to be trump’s excuse when he loses.
The Donald will win the popular vote like he did in 2016. The satanic baby eating pedos are in panic mode.
Mail ballots allow EVERYONE who is registered to vote and that pisses him off.
