The attorney general said mail-in voting plans were 'grossly irresponsible' and threatened the integrity of U.S. elections.
Attorney General William Barr said Democratic lawmakers were"playing with fire" by shepherding bills that would allow Americans to vote by mail at the November elections amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The attorney general also told Fox News host Sean Hannity that it was"reckless and wrong" to conduct elections solely through mail-in ballots. William Barr listens during an event to highlight the Department of Justice grants to combat human trafficking on August 4, 2020 in Washington, D.C."If anything we should be ensuring the integrity of our elections so that government going forward will be legitimate and be accepted as legitimate. The idea of conducting elections by wholesale mail-in ballots is reckless and wrong."
