FACTS about voting:

1. Trump doesn't have the power to delay the election

2. Only .00006% cases of mail ballot fraud out of total ballots cast over past 20 years

3. 16 top Trump officials voted by mail

4. Trump waging unprecedented campaign to undermine free & fair elections
I did a series of videos with @crookedmedia this week debunking Trump’s lies about mail voting that I highly recommend you watch & share

16 top Trump officials voted by mail

If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for you

Vote by mail doesn’t lead to large-scale voter fraud

People like voting by mail

It increases voter turnout

Pass it on & tell a friend

As I told @jonfavs on @PodSaveAmerica this week, if voting didn't matter Trump wouldn't be trying so hard to suppress it

There will be one polling place for 616,000 registered voters in Louisville’s Jefferson County, where half state’s black voters live

This is going to be a disaster
