President Donald Trump said that mail-in voting shouldn’t be conducted in the United States, saying that supporters of vote-by-mail are exploiting the COVID-19 pandemic to push for the policy.

“The United States cannot have all Mail In Ballots. It will be the greatest Rigged Election in history,” Trump wrote on Twitter, expressing concern that people might commit voter fraud by retrieving mailed ballots, duplicating them by the thousands, and forging signatures.
