    Considering that elections are run by the states and that the Postal Service is actually in the Constitution I'm not sure how he can legally do this. Then again legality hasn't been a big issue for Trump.

    Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.

    the left is already laying the groundwork to claim the election was illegitimate when Trump wins

    "Trump interfered with the mail" is the new "Russia hacked our election"

    plenty of examples (NJ, NY, NV) showing how disastrous mail-in voting is, and nothing to do with Trump

    but then again, encouraging chaos and uncertainty is the whole point

    He will try anything in his power to suppress his opposition, regardless of the circumstances.

    philosophical question: With universal mail-in voting, wouldn't that mean that every mailbox becomes a polling location? And if that is the case this would suggest that there couldn't be any political signs within "x" ft of any mailbox. Who would enforce this?

    The brainwashing is strong with this one. I wonder if he is drinking bleach.

    Ever wonder why the voting by mail contrived controversy? A May 2020 study showed that many less Fox and rightist media viewers, who believed what their media told them were not concerned enough about Covid 19 to consider switching to voting by mail. Viewers of CNN, ABC,CBS were more likely to switch to voting by mail to be safer from Covid.

    Hence Trump's campaign against voting by mail allegedly due to the long standing bogus concern with electoral fraud.

    I don't know. It is not where the votes are gathered like other polling places. In the spirit of the law you aren't influencing other's vote on that site.
