U.S. state election officials say little evidence of absentee ballot fraud

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top election officials from two states told Congress on Friday they have seen little evidence of absentee ballot fraud in U.S. primary elections this year and do not expect it to be a big issue in the November general election.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed without evidence that a rise in mail-in voting will lead to a rise in fraud, though he has expressed more openness to absentee voting, which is the way he has cast ballots.

Authorities in Michigan, a swing state that Trump won in 2016 but polls suggest he could lose in 2020, so far this year have found "zero evidence of fraud or irregularities," the state's top election official, Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, told the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Michael Adams, secretary of state in solidly Republican Kentucky, said voting in his state's June primary election likewise was clean of fraud.

Trump's just shitting his pants because he knows he's going to lose. He's hoping to create an excuse to call the election invalid.
