The CDC quietly issued new guidance on voting safely as President Trump ramps up attacks on mail-in voting ahead of the November election by lisettevoytko
Additional attacks on mail-in voting from Trump. He’s tweeted frequently about it since April, and most recently on Saturday, which was Independence Day, in a retweet of his reelection campaign:“In the midst of this pandemic, voters should not need to choose between their health and casting their ballots,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar said in a. Klobuchar is the ranking member of the Senate’s Rules and Means Committee, which requested the CDC’s guidance.
“Now we should pass my legislation to guarantee every voter can cast a mail-in ballot and everyone has access to at least 20 days of early voting so we can reduce lines on Election Day for those who need to vote in person.”Trump’s attacks on mail-in voting are also partisan. On April 8, in what appears to be his first tweet on the subject, Trump wrote that “Republicans should fight hard” against it, because it “doesn’t work out well” for the GOP.
