NBC News: “President Donald Trump is shifting his focus from the U.S. Postal Service in his concerns about potential fraud in mail-in voting, claiming problems with mailed ballots lie with local elections officials who are ‘going to count them wrong.'”

“In an interview with The Washington Examiner in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump was asked to confirm that he’s not worried about USPS’s ability to deliver ballots. ‘No,’ Trump said. ‘It’s not the post office … it has nothing to do with the post office.’ Even if mail delivery occurred ‘a day late,’ Trump said, ‘that’s not the problem… The problem is when they dump all these [ballots] in front of a few people who are counting them, and they’re going to count them wrong,’ the president said in the interview, without offering evidence. ‘The post office is not to blame.’ The president reiterated that the ‘only thing’ he’s concerned about are ‘unsolicited ballots, where they’re going to send 80 million unsolicited ballots to people that they don’t even know if they’re alive or if they’re living there. I think it is a catastrophic disaster for this country.’ There’s no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the United States, according to numerous investigations and studies, and the president’s own voter fraud investigatory committee disbanded without producing evidence of any systemic issues. Election officials in mail voting states say they don’t have problems with fraud.”
