Trump says mail-in voting is top threat to his re-election, Politico reports

[admin]

U.S. President Donald Trump said expanded mail-in voting could cost him re-election in November, according to a Politico interview published on Friday, as states continue to press for absentee balloting amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. Trump and his fellow Republicans have said voting by mail invites tampering, although numerous studies have found little evidence of widespread voter fraud connected to mail-in balloting, and have filed lawsuits and threatened to withhold federal funding over the issue. "My biggest risk is that we don’t win lawsuits," Trump told Politico in the interview, conducted on Thursday.
