President Trump on Wednesday threatened to withhold federal funding for Michigan and Nevada over their pursuit of mail-in voting; says falsely that Michigan is sending absentee ballots to 7.7M voters.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to withhold federal funding for Michigan and Nevada over their pursuit of mass mail-in voting.
The president said, falsely, that Michigan is sending absentee ballots to 7.7 million voters, following that with a warning to Nevada if it pursues voting by mail. Michigan's secretary of state, Jocelyn Benson, said Tuesday that all of those registered voters will be mailed applications for absentee ballots for the state’s elections in August and November — not the absentee ballots themselves.Trump said the move was done “illegally and without authorization from a rogue secretary of state.”
“I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!” he tweeted, and then tagged White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, acting Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought and the Treasury Department in a follow-up tweet.Sign Up
