Perhaps Trump Is Dissing Mail Voting Because

[MineralMan]

he knows that many of his supporters read poorly (like Trump) and can't (or won't) follow the instructions for mail-in ballots. That could cause many of his supporters' ballots to be rejected due to errors.

I encourage everyone to take time to read the instructions carefully, and follow them precisely. That way, you won't make the mistakes stupid Trump voters will make.

1. I think he only is trying to create a hint of doubt

Just like he seeded the doubts about CoronaV. Once he has his minions confused he can manipulate them.

2. +1, well he has ... DeJoys illegally tearing up the mail system is horrible

6. and till now he's not locked up is what i can't understand. Blatant destruction of federal property

and blatant tampering of USPS mail procedures to suppress votes in plain sight and nothing can be done. Makes my blood boil thinking about it.

3. That is a great point MineralMan.

Mail-in ballots have a layer of security that does not exist in the in person voting booth. Failing to read the instructions, reading them incorrectly, or simply misunderstanding them can easily lead to a vote being rejected.

Trump has a very low opinion of his supports and probably does think they are too stupid to successfully cast a mail-in ballot.

4. Agreed, but another possibility

"Poll watchers" cannot intimidate people at their homes and it diminishes the effect of closing polling places causing long lines.

7. +1

8. Yes but his watchers can be there when ballots are

opened and signatures checked and they can challenge each one of them. Also in previous years it is the republicans that have taken more advantage of mail in ballots so that argument is gone. My take, it is far more difficult for the russians to manipulate the count if done by mail in, there is a paper trail and he does not want that paper trail, it will not help him in court when he calls the election rigged.

5. He might...

but the common wisdom is that when more people vote, democrats win. There are multitudes more dems than republicans in this country, the problem is, they don't vote. Making it easier to cast a vote puts dems in office.

9. Mail Voting is a paper trail

The more people who vote on paper, the fewer votes that can be fudged electronically.
