Trump threatening to cut funding to Michigan due to absentee ballots:

[demmiblue]

Breaking: Michigan sends absentee ballots to 7.7 million people ahead of Primaries and the General Election. This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State. I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!..

1. trDumpie says,...

"Liberal Snowflakes should not touch election ballots,... only Fascists should vote."

5. When does this nightmare end?

Does Trump even know that Congress authorizes funding (not the President) and that Michigan's Sec.
of State work is guided by the state's constitution?

It is time for the 25th amendment. The fucker is rage tweeting nonsense.

14. You know when it ends

[babylonsister]

2. I don't understand how this can even be legal. He

doesn't get his way so he threatens?

12. You haven't noticed until now that's his MO?

[babylonsister]

16. Sure I have. Why don't you let me know if it's legal? nt

3. States determine how presidential elections are run. Not MF45.

4. Withholding federal funds during a pandemic & flood

Keep up the good work Don the Con! Adding to people’s misery is generally not a good strategy.

6. All states should do this

ASAP . Tell trump to shove it.

7. To start with, Michigan couldn't have send out general election ballots. We don't even know who is

going to be on a ballot. We have not officially selected our candidate. And what primary did they send ballots for? Isn't their primary over?

15. These are applications for absentee ballots

The ballot will be sent when it's ready.

Great news for Democracy.

Trump is tipping his hand here, his election strategy will to use Covid-19 to scare people away from the polls.

8. Trump is mentally ill.

He needs to be admitted to a psychiatric ward for treatment.

[JI7]

9. He deserves a long painful death

[LisaL]

10. Michigan plans to send out applications, not actual ballots.

So he doesn't even know what he is tweeting about.
"The president threatened federal funding for Michigan and erroneously said Benson planned to send absentee ballots, when the Detroit Democrat instead plans to send voters applications for the ballots ahead of the elections."

11. He is attacking our right to vote right now. In real time.

If nothing is done now, nothing will be done when he does it in November.

[LisaL]

13. Hasn't he been doing it even before he got elected?

He was claiming wide spread voter fraud as I recall even before the election.

17. ...

18. I hope he gets asked about this when visiting the

Ford factory in Ypsilanti, Michigan this Thursday.

21. He is doing this to set the stage to claim voter fraud when Biden wins

He'll use that as a platform when he launches Trump TV. The deplorables will eat it up.
