Trump expresses worries about ‘fake ballots’ despite RNC’s push for early voting acceptance.
President Donald Trump Raises Concerns About ”Phony Ballots” and Early Voting
During a town hall with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, President Donald Trump expressed his concerns about ”phony ballots” and questioned the concept of early voting, despite efforts by the Republican National Committee to embrace it.
“The one thing a lot of people, including you, don’t talk about, [the Democrats] also create phony ballots,” Trump told Hannity. “And that’s a real problem, that’s my opinion.”
Hannity countered by advocating for early voting, to which Trump didn’t disagree but expressed his preference for everyone voting on one day. He lamented the “corrupt” state of the United States’ elections and emphasized the need for voter ID.
“Republicans always wanted to go out on Tuesday, they wanted to vote. I respect that. I think it’s great,” Trump said. “And it would be great if we could get back to one day… with voter ID… The Democrats don’t want verification, they don’t want voter ID because they want to cheat. You know, they want to cheat. They don’t want voter ID.”
Trump claimed that most people, including “regular Democrat people,” support voter ID. However, he cautioned against the prevalence of “phony ballots” and emphasized the need for vigilance.
“The one thing we have to be very careful of is phony ballots, Sean. Everything you say is great. But they create ballots. That’s my opinion, and that’s the opinion of a lot of people,” he said.
Despite his concerns, Trump encouraged his followers to utilize early voting, although he believed it wouldn’t address the underlying issues of “corrupt elections.”
“We have very corrupt elections. We have no borders,” Trump continued. “If you don’t have borders and you don’t have good elections, you don’t have a country.”
