Despite his father’s repeated claims that mail-in voting is rife with fraud and abuse, Donald Trump, Jr. recorded robocalls encouraging Trump voters to do just that swing states the campaign thinks he can win, Politico reports.
Junior tells the caller that the campaign has already requested a mail-in ballot for them. “First, President Trump has already made you an official absentee ballot request which may have already arrived or will soon arrive,” Junior says in the call.
His father has whined about jurisdictions sending unrequested mail-in ballots to voters, which would cause massive fraud, but Junior’s claim that ballots were already requested undermines the objections his father made.
The calls are being made in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, Georgia, Texas and Maine.
