What voter fraud?

While ranting about his beloved voter-suppression scheme, the “Save America Act,” Trump demands “NO MORE RIGGED ELECTIONS! Voter ID, PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, no rigged mail-in voting (we are the only country in the world that allows this!)”

We are the only country that allows this … except for the following countries that do allow mail-in voting: Argentina; France; Lithuania; Singapore; Germany; Australia; Luxembourg; Slovakia; Austria; Greece; Malaysia; Slovenia; Belgium; Iceland; the Netherlands; South Korea; Brazil; Ireland; New Zealand; Spain; Canada; Israel; Norway; Sweden; Chile; Italy; Pakistan; Switzerland; Denmark; Japan; Poland; the U.K.; Estonia; Latvia; Portugal; Finland; Lichenstein; and Zimbabwe. Additionally, mail-in voting has NOT been found to be riddled with fraud in these countries.

And in regard to the need for voter ID and proof of citizenship, the conservative Heritage Foundation’s research found that from 1999-2023, more than 1 billion ballots were cast, and there were 77 cases of non-citizens voting and 10 cases of undocumented immigrants voting. That is 0.00000764% of all votes. That’s not what I would call a huge problem that needs fixing.

Trump thinks just saying something is true, makes it a fact. He uses the same absurd tactic many times a day (and often in the middle of the night.) As to his wild claims of massive voter fraud, he is either misinformed or lying.
