Can Michigan Mail Absentee Forms? Yes. Can Trump Withhold Funds? Unlikely.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump on Wednesday made false accusations about mail-in voting in Michigan and Nevada, continuing his unfounded attacks on absentee balloting.

He initially mischaracterized the Michigan secretary of state’s actions to expand voting by mail during the coronavirus pandemic, falsely claimed such actions were illegal, and repeated his false assertion that there is rampant fraud in mail balloting. He also threatened to withhold money from the states — which itself may be unconstitutional or illegal.

Here’s an assessment of his claims.

Is Michigan mailing absentee ballots to 7.7 million voters?

No. Michigan voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing no-excuse voting by mail in 2018 — meaning any voter can now apply for an absentee ballot for any reason — and this is the first election cycle with the policy in place. Anyone in the state can legally print a ballot application and send it to someone; the form is available online.

1. The application puts us on a mailing list.

Then it is basically a vote by mail system if you opt for it.

I love it. Just what we voted for in 2018.
