A Senate GOP leader raised concerns on Wednesday over President Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claims that mail-in-voting leads to mass fraud, arguing that Republicans should instead be encouraging voters to use the method in order to compete in a consequential election that will determine control of Congress and the White House.
"Mail-in voting has been used in a lot of places for a long time," Senate Majority Whip John Thune, the No. 2 Senate Republican, said in the Capitol. "And honestly, we got a lot of folks, as you know, who are investing heavily to try to win that war, it's always a war too for mail-in ballots. Both sides compete and it's always an area where I think our side -- at least in my experience -- has done pretty well."
The South Dakota Republican added, "I don't want to discourage -- I think we want to assure people it's going to work. It's secure and if they vote that way, it's going to count."

WTF can’t anyone just encourage the safest, most responsible voting - in person, registered in advance, with proper ID?
Rush explained it very clearly today. I presume he is correct.
“Vote by mail” sends ballots to every registered voter at their last known address, regardless if they have died or moved. There is no need to prove who you are to get a ballot. It is very different from absentee ballot voting which is tightly controlled.
Yeah, and since it's been introduced in the Soviet of Washington we can't win an election for dogcatcher.
Idiot Republican is getting suckered into the false narrative pushed about Mail-in = Absentee ballots. Trump thankfully clarified in today’s presser.
Demons want mail-in + harvesting so no Chain of Custody like Ken Blackwell said yesterday on FBN. Total setup for fraud.
As Rush said, there’s a difference in a requested absentee one mailed in and a ballot carpet bomb sent indiscriminately out to every address in a zip code.
Isn’t Thune also the one who is against POTUS giving his acceptance speech at the White House? Jerk.
So John Thune is a deep state infiltrator. Most of them are.
If sitting in front of your TV you saw that your lotto numbers just won the 350 million dollar Powerball ticket. Would you take it down to the lotto office in person the next day?
Or... would you put it in a stamped envelope and mail it in?
Case closed.
Beat me by two minutes. Ditto!
Another asshat who will join the ranks of those destined for the gallows.
You hit the nail on the head. These RINO’s are heavily invested in Globalism. Not Americanism. And, they seek to undermine President Trump and the American People at every opportunity.
He, along with every other pubbie, will get a rude awakening.
The Democrats won’t be able to commit fraud in that case, so they cry racism at the mere suggestion.
Mail-in voting has been used in a lot of places for a long time...

Exactly. If these assholes can spend time on Twitter and doing TikTok dances and riot, then can get their lazy butts to the voting places.
Well said.
Vichy Republican swine must hang.
