Exclusive – Trump on Elections: Republicans ‘Have No Choice,’ ‘We Have to Fight’ Like Democrats to Outdo Them with Mail Voting, Ballot Harvesting

MIAMI, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively here on Friday that Republicans must engage and fight Democrats on mail voting and ballot harvesting like the Democrats fight, saying the GOP has “no choice” but to “live with the system that stinks” for now until Republicans get back into power and can change it for the better.

To be clear, Trump still believes there should be systemic reform to the way elections are conducted. “The best thing would be same-day voting, paper ballots, voter ID, et cetera,” he said, reiterating points he has made in public remarks and in previous interviews with Breitbart News on this front.

He also bashed the mail voting and ballot harvesting system in play nationally as broadly “corrupt.”

“The system, it’s not a question of being broken — the system is corrupt,” Trump told Breitbart News. “It’s a corrupt system. A mail-in ballot will always be corrupt. When you go to a polling location and they want your identification and everything, the way — you can’t really vote unless it’s a legit deal. If you have mail-in ballots, nobody has any idea where it’s coming from or where it’s going to and then it travels through so many hands. Jimmy Carter came out a long time ago with a number of highly respected people and they wrote something, and the one thing that come out loud and clear is that mail-in ballots are corrupt. France had it, a lot of countries had it and they went away from it now.”

While Trump questioning these matters is not particularly new, the interesting and very new detail here is Trump recognizes that for now Republicans are not in the position they need to be at in government, at the federal or state and local levels,

If they change the rules of how the contest is scored, you have no choice but to play to those rules to the best of your ability.

Or a moronic RINO fence turtle to be the Senate minority lead.

I am beginning to develop an affection for the man in spite of his abrasiveness as a typical New Yorker. I am reminded of the phrase, “Polite women seldom make history”.

When others tried to disparage Ulysses Grant because of his drinking, Lincoln said about Grant, "I can't spare this man, he fights." I guess that assessment of Trump works for me.

I don’t really understand what the proposition is here.

I think Democrats are loading up the rolls then going out collecting up the ballots, filling them in themselves, then dumping them into the system.

Is the proposition that we should do this in an attempt to Hoover up more ballots than them?

I could see this being a set up. They’re pretty good at criminality.

Same day voting, voter photo ID, voter registration card...

The ONLY mail-in ballot that should legal is from military personnel stationed overseas...

We do have a choice but the Ballot Box isn’t the answer.

And as we all know for each mail in ballot you get 2 or three votes.

Exactly. When their people cheat, the DOJ will look the other way, but if Conservatives cheat like their people do, the book will be thrown at us.

“We do have a choice but the Ballot Box isn’t the answer.”

What is that choice?

They make sure every Democrat have mailed in their votes. So they've checked that off their lists.

The Republicans are not doing that.

So you have that grandparent with Alzheimer's who lives at the nursing home? Well, you go over there and fill out the ballot for them and then you have it mailed in.
