President Trump said Thursday that he plans to send law enforcement and U.S. attorneys to the polls in November to prevent voter fraud.
When asked by Fox News host Sean Hannity late Thursday night if the president was going to "have an ability" to monitor and avoid fraud during the upcoming November elections, Trump said, “We’re going to have everything.”
“We’re going to have sheriffs, and we’re going to have law enforcement. And we’re going to have hopefully U.S. attorneys, and we’re going to have everybody and attorney generals,” the president continued.
The president once again criticized the practice of mail-in voting, alleging that “anybody can sign” the universal mail-in ballots, specifically naming the system in Nevada.
“Nobody’s ever heard of anything like this,” he said.
“They may send them to all Democrat areas, not to the Republican areas as an example,” he added. “Could be the other way too, but I doubt it.”
Trump’s pledge to send law enforcement to the polls comes after he and his allies have repeatedly claimed that mail-in voting will open the election up to fraud, despite a lack of evidence.
In recent weeks, the president has questioned whether the results of the election will be accurate with mail-in voting amid the coronavirus pandemic.

P
Dems are going to go ape(continue ape) over this.
I look forward to meltdowns.
Good, that will prevent millions of illegal aliens from voting in person.
Who is he going to send to the Post Office?
Black robed tyrant judges on speed dial.
YES!!!!!!!
This is a NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE! Federalize all National Guard units to secure the ballots in transport to and from the voting locations. When one location runs out of ballots, send in a QRF. Almost every American, even the leftists somewhat respect the military. They may hate the cops, but the leave the military alone.
a shredding truck to eliminate all the fraud.
The president should issue an executive order which gives at least ten years in prison for voter fraud. I was hoping he’d send in the NG to every polling place, because these Antifa/BLM thugs are going to be turning election day upside down....now checking this mail-in fraud is going to be trickier.
What you said....so badly needed.
Prisons are full. Siberia would work-underdeveloped.
Pres Trump’s job is to protect the office of the presidency
from those would demean it.......as in the mail-in ballot fraud concocted by the Dems.
Any action Trump takes should be applauded.......he is acting in the electorate’s best interests.
Amen as therein lies the problem.
The thug presence will be far worse than that of the thugs in Philadelphia in 2008, but this time it'll be a distraction from the mail-in fraud, that's the real problem. They'll be counting for weeks, and months if the courts let them get away with it. If Biden wins, they'll try to count beyond January 20 in the hopes that President Trump will refuse to leave, so they can make a big splash about that, and grounds to prosecute. Because even voting him out wouldn't suffice, they want him punished.
What can we citizens do to protect the integrity of the polling places. I seem to recall we can apply to be volunteer observers.
I would imagine we’d have to do it in numbers for safety’s sake, because I don’t trust that the left won’t bus in agitators.
I hope he puts well marked ICE or Border Patrol vehicles at all polling locations.
Amen
My concern is will he use all necessary force?
The fraud is going to happen with the mail in votes.
Based on the fact that the military did not protect the White House and the Federal monuments from rioting in June, I don’t think the Pentagon would permit the use of Federal troops, including National Guard soldiers, to monitor elections. Trump would have to rely on Homeland Security and the more loyal Federal agencies, like ATF and the Secret Service, to protect voting integrity.
