Trump: Putin agrees with him US should not have mail-in voting

[BLMFem]

Well MAGAverse, there you have it. The boss has spoken and mail-in voting is apparently a bad thing, and of course you should heed the words of a dictator who's also an expert on voting matters!

 

Trump says Putin agrees with him US should not have mail-in voting

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-putin-agrees-with-him-us-should-not-have-mail-in-voting-2025-08-16

 

"U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agrees with him that letting voters send in ballots by mail puts honest elections at risk.
"Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can't have an honest election with mail-in voting," Trump told Fox News Channel's "Hannity" after a nearly three-hour meeting between the leaders in Alaska. "He said there's not a country in the world that uses it now.""

 

Do I really need to point out that he's lying about no country using it?

Thought not......

Putin says so, so it must be true. Those who try to challenge the dictator cheat apparently gets thrown out of windows.

I am in OZ. I've done mail voting for years 

In OZ, voting is compulsory; if you don't vote, you get fined, so if you are handicapped and can't make it to the polling station, you deserve getting fined?

Who cares what he TACO'd on about?

 

Why bring up mail-in voting at the Ukraine summit?

 

And why should we heed the words of a dictator who's also an expert on voting matters?

 

"Now about Ukraine and NATO...."

"But I won the election!  It was rigged!"

"Of course it was, Donald,....now Donbass....."

"They found millions of fake ballots at midnight!"

"Donbass, Donald.............."

"You know they pay illegals to vote by mail?"

"Yes, Donald, postal voting is bad.  So NATO wants....."

"I was the best winner, I won the bigliest!"

With the Russia collusion hoax recently having magnificently turned into a steaming pile of you know what, and another million Trump "lies" becoming established fact with evidence to back it up, it is a most peculiar time for lying wokies to start banging on about Trump lying🤣

I'm not a fan of mail-in voting.    The state has no idea who filled out the ballot.

According to trump, not the most reliable of narrators, putin also told him that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 election. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

No time is "peculiar" when it comes to pointing out the endless stream of lies emanating from the orange clown's pie hole.

I agree other than for expats and military overseas, and individuals with disabilities I tend to agree. There are a few other catagories of individual I could see who would have a need to mail-in there votes, but blanket mail-in voting is simply too easy to rig.  And I think voting machines should be relegated to the trash-heap of history. 

However - what we refer to as a democracy in the West and the US is a sad joke.

[WayWokeWhiteGuy]

Trump does not like mail in ballots because it’s too hard for him to cheat.

I'm thinking about the security aspect; you are thinking from the partisan hack aspect.

Others may be thinking about the "secret ballot aspect".

 

Then of course there is the " making voting difficult in certain areas" aspect - reducing the number of voting places for certain communities, forbidding water to those in long queues and so on. Mind you, just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to voter suppression in the world's leading democracy!

American expats in Thailand oppose mail in voting.

 

Turkeys and Christmas come to mind.
