Donald Trump trashed mail-in voting again, and people who wanted him to lose the election were all for it.
At a town hall event hosted by Fox News on Tuesday in South Carolina, host Laura Ingraham asked the former president to address voter concerns about mail-in ballots.
What are you going to do to make sure we dont have problems going forward? she asked.
If you have mail-in voting, you automatically have fraud, Trump replied, repeating a lie hes been telling for years.
OK, well, theres mail-in voting in Florida, and you won huge, Ingraham shot back, referring to Trumps 2020 victory in the state over President Joe Biden .
Trump has persistently attacked mail-in voting as rife with fraud, which he falsely claims cost him the 2020 election, even though he himself has voted by mail .
Following a disappointing midterm result for Republicans , party officials have amped up efforts to change voter attitudes about the process, encouraging Republican voters to request mail-in ballots and vote early.
Trump has both supported and then repeatedly undermined that messaging.
Way to shave off a percent or two, Donnie. Keep it up, Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, posted on X.
Other social media users who seemingly identified as Democrats encouraged Republicans to heed Trumps message.
