said voting was “an honor” while threatening to defund expanded voting?

In a May 2020 meeting with two state governors, Trump threatened to withhold federal election funding for states expanding mail-in voting. He repeated unfounded claims about mail-in voting, and said people should vote in person because to do so is “an honor.”

I think just common sense would tell you that it’s massive manipulation can take place. Massive.

They — and you do; you have cases of fraudulent ballots, where they actually print them and they give them to people sign. Maybe the same person signs them with different writing, different pens. I don’t know. It’s — a lot of things can happen.

No, if you can, you should go and vote. Voting is an honor. It shouldn’t be something where they send you a pile of stuff and you send it back.

Trump also stepped up his attacks on Twitter.

Trump has alleged widespread voter fraud ever since losing the 2016 popular vote. A commission was also created to investigate, though no fraud was found.

Trump himself has voted by mail, though he also registered using the wrong address.
