Facts First: President Trump is inventing a voting distinction where none exists, and also peddling baseless claims of rigged elections and fraudulent ballots.

Washington President Donald Trump has railed against"mail-in voting" while defending"absentee voting," baffling experts who say those voting systems are essentially the same thing.

Trump made the claims in a series of tweets Friday morning, which included some of his previously debunked claims about voter fraud. There is no widespread fraud in US elections. "Mail-In Ballot fraud found in many elections. People are just now seeing how bad, dishonest and slow it is. Election results could be delayed for months. No more big election night answers? 1% not even counted in 2016. Ridiculous! Just a formula for RIGGING an Election," Trump tweeted.
