Trump gets a head start on Big Lie 2.0 with focus on mail-in voting

On Sunday, Donald Trump posted a claim that 20% of mail-in votes in Pennsylvania are fraudulent. “Here we go again!” Trump wrote as he called for Attorney General Merrick Garland and the FBI to investigate.

It’s going to be a brief investigation. Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballots have not even been sent out yet. In fact, due to several unresolved court cases, it’s unlikely that ballots in some counties in the state will be sent to voters before the first week of October.

So, even if Trump was right, 20% of zero is still zero. Case closed.

But of course, Trump isn’t concerned about these nonexistent votes. He’s just preparing for the next round of protests and insurrection, planting the seeds for Big Lie 2.0. So that if he loses, everyone loses. And if he wins … everyone loses.
