FACT CHECK: Trump Spreads Unfounded Claims About Voting By Mail
President Trump tweeted a conspiracy theory that foreign countries could print and send counterfeit absentee ballots. Election officials from both parties say those concerns aren't based in fact.
President Trump has made it clear that he does not support allowing all registered voters access to mail ballots this fall, even during a pandemic. But he keeps changing his story about why he's opposed.
Among his past claims, the president has said ballots would be stolen out, despite very little evidence of such fraud over the past 20 years. Trump has also said universal access to mail voting would boost Democrats and prevent Republicans from winning future elections, despite contradicting that theory.
