Ted Cruz says President Trump 'absolutely right' to call out mail-in ballot fraud concernsPresident Trump is "absolutely right" to call out mail-in ballot voter fraud concerns ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said on Tuesday.
“When it comes to elections, we want elections to be safe, we want them to be secure. We want when you go to cast a vote so that vote counts and the integrity of the election be protected,†Cruz told “Fox & Friends.â€
“The problem with mail-in ballots is that people wonder why is this such a big fight?†Cruz said.........
............Some states, like Maryland, are mailing absentee ballot applications to voters rather than the ballots themselves. And such voting, requiring an application to get an absentee ballot, has long been common in the U.S. What is new is states mailing ballots to voters unprompted.............
..........“In Texas, we have stringent standards on when mail-in ballots are allowed and the origins of that. You go back to the Texas Legislature when they adopted those standards. It was at a time when there were a lot of Texas Democrats and there was a lot of voter fraud, particularly, in Texas Democratic primaries,†Cruz said.
“You can go back and look at the legislative history where elected Democrats in the Texas Legislature were describing how mail-in ballots would be used to steal votes from unsuspected Democratic voters -- many of them African-American or Hispanic who didn’t know that it was unscrupulous partisans who were stealing their ballots and casting them for whatever candidate had paid or whatever candidate had hired them to go engage in stealing votes.â€
