Trump just tweeted to attack election commissioners' drop boxes for ballots

Link to tweet

Some states use “drop boxes” for the collection of Universal Mail-In Ballots. So who is going to “collect” the Ballots, and what might be done to them prior to tabulation? A Rigged Election? So bad for our Country. Only Absentee Ballots acceptable!

1. Fuck you Drumpf you delusional, moronic, Nazi! n/t

[SWBTATTReg]

2. I laugh, he is so desperate and he doesn't have one whit of authority as to how these

drop boxes are handled, etc. Zero.

Ignore the POS.

[leftieNanner]

4. This is true - BUT

His goal is to make voters suspect that these drop boxes aren't safe.

He's throwing doubt onto everything.

So Sorry Donald! We're gonna vote you out in November no matter what you say.

[SWBTATTReg]

10. Anyone that knows how these drop boxes are handled / processed already knows the truth,

they (the boxes, locked) are usually gathered up by reps of both entities and a police officer to ensure the safety too, and taken to a counting place to be processed.

[leftieNanner]

12. Yep!

I'm in Oregon (100% VBM) and our closest drop box is down the street behind the library!

It's so easy and safe.

I think he is trying to reach new mail voters who might not understand.

3. Those drop boxes are secured far more than Trump has in any way the United States.

5. There is no such thing as Universal Mail-in ballots...

He has no clue. WTF? I guess we should start looking for those in the mail now too.

[gratuitous]

6. Those ballot drop boxes are more secure than your phone, Donald

By the way, now that your federales have been chased out of Portland, we found a hunk of blubber that might have been bitten out of your ass. Come and get it.

20. As an aside, why the fuck can't the Intelligence Agencies hear

what the turd says on his phone calls to Pootie?

They can sure listen in on anything else... Are they not even trying?

Oh, nevermind, the Intelligence Agencies are now in his pocket. What was I thinking?

[Hoyt]

7. That's why political parties appoint poll watchers, you stupid MFer.

[spanone]

8. Setting up for the 'rigged election' bullshit...

[Squidly]

9. He is just sowing doubt

So he can say to his followers after hes completely destroyed in the election that it was rigged. Hes preparing a call to arms and im scared as hell.

[global1]

11. Again He Goes On The Offense Making Unfounded Claims....

Has anybody asked him what can be done to eliminate any so-called cheating and rigging.

Surely if he knows all the ways this election can be rigged - he must have solutions as to how to prevent it.

We're in the midst of a deadly pandemic. Mr Trump - already 170,000+ Americans have succumbed to this pandemic. Do you want to kill more Americans?

[Totally Tunsie]

13. I'll LMAO if, two weeks after the election, Mr. and Mrs. Chump's

ballots are returned to the WH as "Undeliverable".

[Brother Buzz]

14. .

15. Biden needs to pushback harder against this tactic.

Trump is trying to discourage people from voting plain and simple. Repetition of a lie that gets planted in your subconscious.

[agingdem]

16. it must be exhausting maintaining that level of stupidity

does he know what a drop box is?..this inane verbal diarrhea is another dog whistle..."Hey, my white slobbering hate-filled sycophants, a dirty gay black hispanic muslim jewish asian Native American anti-fa is going to open "the box" and use his stolen Sharpie to turn the billions of "me" votes into "sleepy Joe" votes...STOP IT NOW!!!"

[lostnfound]

17. Trumps terror of absentees? Counted on russian hack

How alarming it must be for him to think of sweeping defeat on paper ballots.

If 20% votes on paper, hacking can compensate in electronic totals. But at 60%, there’s nowhere to hide.

His failure to control the epidemic AND his lies to his own base about it mean that Dems are far more likely to vote absentee.

in Connecticut primary this week, “Forty-two percent of Republicans voted by absentee in Tuesday’s primary, compared to 62% for Democrats.”

18. Raw Story article about this tweet, and the reaction to it:

19. Just do what I do

Report the tweet as election interference.

[pwb]

21. Your a pig Trump.

We all know you and hate you.

[LisaL]

22. Yea, cause he thought if he messes up the post office, ballots won't arrive on time.

But drop boxes allow people to drop the ballots avoiding sending it back by usps. So of course he is now attacking drop boxes.

23. Unique! Ballots have tracking, bar codes, signatures, personal information

Maybe some crooked Republicans could lose some, but alter even one? Not likely. Highly unlikely.

Trump thinks it's like dropping folded paper in a hat. It's not.

And for someone who can't be bothered with PDB, he sure has the time to micromanage disinformation about mail-in voting

[bucolic_frolic]

24. And Trump is quickly sinking deeper into the USPS quicksand he created

This is SO beautiful!
