Trump Campaign's U-Turn on Mail-In Voting

For years, Donald Trump has been spreading false claims about mail-in voting, calling it dangerous and fraudulent. But now, with the 2024 election just around the corner, his campaign is doing a complete turnaround. They're urging voters to cast their ballots early and by mail. This shift comes as the campaign tries to expand voting access in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. Lara Trump, Trump's daughter-in-law, has been actively encouraging voters to take advantage of early voting options through robocalls. This is a significant change from earlier this year when she was spreading false allegations about massive fraud in the 2020 election due to mail-in ballots. The Trump campaign has even asked North Carolina to take steps to make voting easier for those affected by the hurricane. However, this push for expanded voting access is in stark contrast to Trump's previous efforts to restrict voting, especially during the 2020 pandemic. Voting rights advocates are calling out this flip-flop, saying it raises questions about the campaign's true intentions and the integrity of the election process. They argue that Trump's campaign knows that expanded access to voting doesn't compromise election integrity. As the election heats up, it's clear that the Trump campaign is trying to walk a fine line between appealing to voters and sticking to their previous stance on voting methods.
