Trump makes unsubstantiated claim that mail-in ballots will lead to voter fraud
On Tuesday, President Trump made a series of claims about potential voter fraud after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced an effort to expand mail-in voting in California during the COVID-19 pandemic. These claims are unsubstantiated, according to CNN, Washington Post and others. Experts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud.

1. Mail voting fraud is extremely rare, and some experts consider it to be safer than in-person voting because paper ballots can't be hacked. 2. Most studies find that voting by mail doesn't help one party over another. 3. President Trump voted by mail in the Florida primary. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1265255835124539392 …

Oregon has been voting *entirely* by mail since 1998. Gov.

The president keeps escalating his false claims about mail in voting. What evidence is there that “mail boxes will be robbed?” What does that even mean?

This is false. California is not mailing a ballot to "anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there." The state is sending ballots to voters who are registered in California: https://www.gov.ca.gov/2020/05/08/governor-newsom-issues-executive-order-to-protect-public-health-by-mailing-every-registered-voter-a-ballot-ahead-of-the-november-general-election/ … https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1265255835124539392 …

Trump has repeatedly lied that illegal immigrants are voting en masse in CA. Now falsely saying CA is sending ballots to "anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there."
