Trump's own intelligence officials contradict his repeated claims of mail-in voting fraud
Source: CNN
US intelligence officials on Friday discounted the possibility of foreign countries mass producing fake ballots to interfere in the November elections, contradicting President Donald Trump's continued insistence that mail-in voting poses a significant threat to election security.
The closed-door House briefing was led by the US intelligence community's top election official, Bill Evanina, and senior intelligence officials who specialize in election security. Officials dismissed the possibility of foreign powers being able to interfere on a mass scale to produce and send fake ballots to voters and election authorities, a source said.
The issue of forged ballots only came up when a lawmaker asked about it, a source in attendance told CNN. Evanina didn't raise any alarms about that possibility, the source said.
The briefing highlighted the regular clash of views on election security between Trump and the administration's top officials charged with keeping the November vote secure, both in public and in classified briefings.

(26,290 posts)because of the hurdles they have enacted in many states to prevent as many Democratic leaning voters from being able to vote as much as possible and they know mail is the last best option for many of these people.
That is why Trump and so many of them are attacking mail in ballots and its not because of fraud.
