Trump Urges Republicans to Vote by Mail in Midterms
Original: Trump, Critic of Voting by Mail, Urges Republicans to Do It in Midterms
President Trump, a longtime critic of voting by mail, is calling on Republicans to use mail-in ballots in the upcoming midterm elections. The shift puts him at odds with his own repeated claims that mail voting is prone to fraud, and is being read as an effort to help his party close the gap with Democrats, who have historically made greater use of early and mail voting.
Why now: The apparent reversal on a key election issue ahead of the midterms is drawing attention and debate.
