President Trump threatened to cut off federal funding to Michigan and Nevada today, claiming that the states were sending “illegal” absentee ballots to voters that would create “Voter Fraud” by lisettevoytko
Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s Secretary of State, responded to Trump on Twitter: “I also have a name, it’s Jocelyn Benson. And we sent applications, not ballots. Just like my GOP colleagues in Iowa, Georgia, Nebraska and West Virginia.”“These attacks on mail-in voting by Donald Trump are not only inaccurate, they are incredibly dangerous.
By trafficking in debunked conspiracy theories and lying about the impact of voting by mail, Trump is clearly attempting to undermine our elections and suppress the vote in the middle of a pandemic. Americans should not be forced to risk their lives to cast their ballots—and Congress must intervene immediately.
Trump himself votes by mail. Enough with the hypocrisy. He must not be allowed to hold critical funding hostage.”The coronavirus pandemic has upended all aspects of American life, including elections. And state and local governments, like in Michigan and Nevada, are searching for ways to protect public health while ensuring fair elections can take place.

As over 90,000 Americans have died due to COVID-19, Pres. Trump is breaking the bipartisan custom of consoling the nation. During an entire month of briefings, Trump devoted less than one percent of his total time to condolences (as the Washington Post reported), a marked contrast to Presidents Bush, Clinton, Obama and Reagan. MSNBC Anchor Ari Melber delves into the historical footage, noting President’s action or inaction shapes “how the nation is protected,” adding, 'this is not normal.
