'This will be a rigged election': Trump promises new lawsuit against voting by mail

President Trump plans to file a new lawsuit against voting by mail, which he said could allow Democrats to cheat in the upcoming elections.

In an interview Monday, Trump told conservative talk show host Michael Savage, "We're suing, and we're filing another big lawsuit, I think, on Friday, and I think we have a good case."

The Republican National Committee sued to halt vote-by-mail efforts in California after Gov. Gavin Newsom in May signed an executive order to allow expanded absentee and mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic. A judge on Friday temporarily blocked the order, which directed the state to send mail-in ballots to all registered voters.

On Monday, Trump floated the possibility that Democrats may try to swing the election by failing to send conservatives vote-by-mail ballots.

Newsom "announced that he's sending out millions and millions of mail-in ballots. You say, 'Who are they sending these to?' Maybe people who are, let's say, in a Republican district, and maybe those ballots, don't get sent there," Trump said. "This is the craziest thing. This will be a rigged election if they are allowed to do it."

Trump continued: "I think that's the one of the biggest risks I have. And the biggest risk, frankly, that the Republican Party has is mail-in ballots. It's a very big risk."

Trump described some circumstances under which ballot fraud could occur. "They hold up mailmen," Trump said, "they take them out of mailboxes, they print them fraudulently."

We can fight mail in ballots, but we better have plan B in case we lose that fight. Plan B is to put controls on and around the ballot process.

• Ways to ensure that voters know their vote was counted correctly.
• Ways for voters to vote if they didn't receive a mail in ballot.
• An effective dispute process in place if the vote was stolen or changed.
• Cleaning up the voter rolls and challenging invalid and illegal votes.
• Audits of excessive ballots going to the same location.
• Prevention of vote harvesting in nursing homes and mental facilities.

There are 29 states plus Washington D.C. that have laws on the books for no excuse needed absentee voting. Another five states: Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah and Washington conduct all their elections by mail ballots.
So that’s 34 states/district where mail-in ballots are available to any registered voter who wants one.
