Trump threatens to hold up aid to Michigan over absentee voting

Trump is going to do the same thing he did before the 2016 elections. He is going to lay the groundwork where if he loses he can say that the election was rigged. And he will use voter fraud as the major cause.
Just like he claimed that between 3 -5 million votes for Clinton were illegals getting their hands on ballots.
Remember that early on in his term he launched a committee to investigate voter fraud. But after a year they disbanded because they could not prove fraud at any significant level.

Skipping part of that story I see, the part where states refused to hand over the data. And Democrats are in no position to complain about people claiming the election wasn’t fair.

Why is it necessary for the Federal Government to know who voted for who going back a decade?

I am glad that the States told them to go pound sand.

There was also this little thing of a lot of States would be breaking their own laws if they handed over those materials.

Plenty of Republican states refused to hand over the data as well. Were they trying to hide voter fraud?

For years I heard Conservatives maintain that a person’s private data should be protected.

Yeah, I just don’t get the logic on the conservative side here. They seem to think not complying is because the liberals are trying to hide evidence of voter fraud. Yet plenty of Republican governors also rejected the request. Are they also trying to hide evidence of voter fraud? Can a conservative explain this discrepancy?

It’s just easier if you don’t think about it and repeat what the radio says.

Who are you talking to? I didn’t bring up Trump. Check yourself.

The funds were already doled out. No backsies. Sorry.

maybe he will refuse to hand over FEMA money for the flooding.

@Scratch

But of course he got that wrong too…They sent out applications for a ballot, not actual ballots. But now you can see how he operates. Screw people in need, if things aren’t done my way. Everything he does is about him and his re-election.

@Smyrna

Does Trump have the right to hold up funding? If so, that’s his right…period. Does the governor have the right to shut down businesses and “screw people in need, if things aren’t done my way”? Why do you only see one side? That’s the better question?

Ohio Judge Deems the State's COVID-19 Lockdown 'Arbitrary, Unreasonable, and...

It appears that the judicial branch is weighing in and they tend to agree w/me.

[wiley8425]

What does a judge in Ohio have to do with whether or not Michigan gets Federal funding?

[wiley8425]

I think it’s funny. He’s threatening to withhold funding (that they already got) because he’s worried about absentee ballots causing him to lose Michigan. Meanwhile, his actions could very well swing several Michigan voters against him because well, you know…

[Konssurvative1]

extortion? Why are people so strongly behind this. I remember a Governor from Illinois…Nice guy, a little foul mouthed, did like 4 years for with-holding funding to an Illinois Children’s hospital. How come you guys love it so much when Trump does it.

He’s going to withhold funding while people there are suffering from some of the worst flooding there in years as two dams have broken and flooded cities and towns down stream.

Trump is truly and stand up kind of guy isn’t he?

No, he’s not. Why did they break?
