Not surprised. I’m sure he’ll claim it’s due to “voter fraud” but many places vote by mail without issue.

"Voter fraud" always just means those kinds of people voting

Colorado votes by mail and it's regarded as the gold standard in regards to integrity and efficiency.

Integrity? Efficiency? Sounds like FRAUD to me!

WA state has vote by mail, and every registered voter gets an informational booklet detailing the candidates.

I’ve never heard of any issues here.

And when's the last time you saw a Republican trifecta in Washington?

Exactly. That's what Abbott is afraid of.

Anyone else remember when Rump said the quiet part out loud and if more people voted "you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again"?
