""He'd want revenge at the voter box," Trump said, "but unfortunately we don't have so many ballot boxes because they have mail-in voting, which is totally rigged. You know, there are a lot of problems. I like ballot boxes, where you can - they do mail-in voting all over the place, which is rigged. Trump continued: "Any time - Jimmy Carter, they had a commission; he said, 'Any time you have mail-in voting, it's a crooked election,' okay? 'And they've gotta stop.'""
"It simply isn't. Mail-in voting is a legitimate method used by legitimate voters to cast legitimate ballots. Elections experts the incidence of fraud tends to be marginally higher with mail-in ballots than with in-person ballots - but also that fraud rates in federal elections are tiny even with mail-in ballots. Republican-dominated Utah is among the states where voters are automatically sent mail-in ballots (though it is now phasing out that policy); Utah's federal elections, like California's, have been free of widespread fraud."
Assertions that mail-in voting is "totally rigged" are inaccurate. Mail-in voting is a legitimate method used by voters to cast ballots. Election experts find that fraud incidence may be marginally higher for mail-in ballots than for in-person voting, but absolute fraud rates in federal elections remain tiny. States that send ballots by mail, including examples like Utah and California, have not shown widespread fraud in federal contests. Specific claims about missing ballot boxes and millions of untraceable ballots lack substantiation. Overall evidence does not indicate systemic rigging of mail-in voting in California.
