Calls mail-in voting a path to 'the most CORRUPT ELECTION' in tweet

On July 21, 2020, Trump tweeted, "Mail-In Voting, unless changed by the courts, will lead to the most CORRUPT ELECTION in our Nation's History! #RIGGEDELECTION." The tweet was one of a series of unsupported claims Trump made over the summer of 2020 asserting that expanded mail voting, which many states adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, would produce widespread fraud. Election security researchers and state officials said there was no evidence of systemic mail-ballot fraud, noting that documented fraud cases in any form of voting, including mail ballots, are rare. The tweet preceded, by nine days, Trump's more widely covered July 30 tweet floating a delay to the November election on the same unsupported grounds.
