In Pennsylvania, signs that Trump's attacks on mail voting could backfire

LOWER MAKEFIELD, Penn. (Reuters) - With Pennsylvania’s June 2 presidential primary fast approaching, local Republican leader Mark Hrutkay took to Facebook to remind supporters they have the option to vote by mail as coronavirus sweeps the state.

Instead of thanks, Hrutkay said he got an earful from angry devotees of Republican President Donald Trump.

“I had one woman, using a lot of four-letter words, tell me ‘didn’t you know Trump hates mail-in balloting,’” said Hrutkay, the Republican chairman of Washington County, a Trump-friendly region just outside Pittsburgh.

Trump has made no secret of his disdain for mail-in voting, proclaiming frequently - without evidence - that such balloting is riddled with fraud. Hrutkay and other Republican leaders say they don’t like it either and share Trump’s skepticism about the integrity of the process.
