Trump says mail ballots greater election threat than foreign interference

Trump on Wednesday alleged that the proliferation of mail-in ballots is a greater threat to the integrity of the upcoming election than foreign interference.

"Our biggest threat to this election is governors from opposing parties controlling ballots, millions of ballots," Trump said during a news conference at the White House. "To me that's a much bigger threat than foreign countries, because much of the stuff coming out about foreign countries turned out to be untrue."

Trump's own national intelligence officials have warned that China, Iran and Russia are all attempting to sway the outcome of the 2020 election, and intelligence agencies and a bipartisan Senate committee have determined that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

But Trump has been fixated on the use of mail ballots in this year's election. Many states have expanded access to mail ballots due to the coronavirus pandemic. Ten states are sending out ballots to voters, while others are sending out applications for absentee ballots.

those ballots. Calling into question, once again, the legitimacy of Trump's election.

If Trump really wants to go there and accuse Democratic Governors of election tampering.
