Trump is 'Discouraging Turnout' Among His OWN Voters By Sowing Doubt in Mail-In Voting

FiveThirtyEight founder and ABC News correspondent Nate Silver warned Sunday that President Donald Trump may be “discouraging turnout” among his own voters by scaring them about the accuracy and validity of mail-in voting.

“Republican voters do listen to President Trump when he expresses concern — usually without any evidence we should note — about the integrity of mail ballots,” declared Silver on ABC News.

“But Republican voters now say they’re less inclined to vote by mail,” he went on. “Just 17 percent of Trump supporters say they prefer to vote by mail in the new ABC poll, compared to 54 percent of Biden voters.”

Silver explained that it “may not be great for Trump because campaign operatives in both parties want people to vote as early as possible,” since “lots of things can come up on election day, ranging from losing your car keys to, well, maybe your state has a big spike in coronavirus cases.”
