Fox News anchor Chris Wallace floated the possibility that President Trump may actually have a point when it comes to an increased chance of voter fraud through mail-in ballots.
Wallace, who has been critical of the President on this matter in the past, made the assertion during a segment on Fox News Sunday.

The sheer volume of increased mail-in ballots due to Democrat-led restrictions or hysteria involving in-person voting due to the coronavirus pandemic was cited as a potential source of trouble.
“Hear me out for a minute. Isn’t it possible that the president really has a point here?” Wallace wondered.
“As I mentioned earlier, there were 33 million either absentee or mail-in ballots in 2016. If we have double that or triple that, isn’t there a pretty good chance that we will have a mess, at the least,” he asked. “And yes, possibly fraud?”

Be still, our beating hearts. Did Chris Wallace just address a concern that many voters share about election integrity?
Shocking
Wallace is, of course, stating the obvious here. That the United States Postal Service (USPS) might be able to handle things under normal circumstances, but as 2020 has already shown several times over – these aren’t normal circumstances.
It’s just a little shocking to hear it come out of his mouth, considering it was just this past May that he argued to the contrary.
“I’ve done some deep dive in it, there really is no record of massive fraud or even serious fraud from mail-in voting,” Wallace reported.
“It’s being carried out in Republican states, it’s being carried out in Democratic states, there’s no indication that mail-in voting, as opposed to in-person voting, tends to favor one party over another,” he added.
That is debatable. What isn’t is the fact that he admitted fraud definitely happens. Why are we concerned about which side is involved? Isn’t this about the integrity of the vote?

Some states use “drop boxes” for the collection of Universal Mail-In Ballots. So who is going to “collect” the Ballots, and what might be done to them prior to tabulation? A Rigged Election? So bad for our Country. Only Absentee Ballots acceptable!

Analogies aside, the President has had a point all along. It didn’t take Wallace to figure out the obvious.
“Some states use ‘drop boxes’ for the collection of Universal Mail-In Ballots. So who is going to ‘collect’ the Ballots, and what might be done to them prior to tabulation?” Trump tweeted.
“A rigged election? So bad for our country,” he added. “Only absentee ballots acceptable!”

Let’s allow CBS to explain this one …
Local news’ experiment in mail-in voting ends in disaster: “I just don’t trust the mail”https://t.co/7FQgp8Q8gP pic.twitter.com/IHZ441ClTC

That’s right – CBS’ own experiment showed two examples of mock balloting, the first of which lost a significant 3 percent of the ballots, and a second in which a staggering 21 percent of the ballots had not arrived within a week.
AG Barr is right.
Large scale mail-in voting “absolutely opens the floodgates to fraud.”

Even prior to these extreme circumstances, mail-in voting was ripe for fraud.

Fairly recent debacles in North Carolina and Texas – some of which involve both parties – indicate President Trump does have a point. There were also several instances of why vote-by-mail could lead to trouble in upstate New York.
Why do Democrats want Vote-by-Mail? Because it makes fraud a whole lot easier.
Troy, NY taught us this lesson in 2012.
Democrats there revealed a host of tactics that could easily be used to commit fraud with mail-in ballots.

In May, Domenick DeMuro, a Philadelphia elections judge and Democratic Party official, pled guilty to stuffing ballot boxes over several elections to help Democratic candidates win office.
He was reportedly paid as much as $5,000 per cycle to commit the election fraud.
With many Americans struggling to make ends meet in this Democrat economic shutdown, and the chaos surrounding the pandemic, does anybody really think fraud won’t expand exponentially this election?
The USPS has already been suffering staff reductions due to positive coronavirus cases, while demand on their system has gone up as Democrat lawmakers suppress the economy by keeping people at home, increasing the need for online orders and delivery.
Desperate people will try to take advantage of the chaos. And nobody will be more desperate than Joe Biden supporters.

There may be a problem with mail-in balloting? There may be a problem. Maybe bears relieve themselves in the woods also . . . !
I can see visions of what's happening in Belarus only it'll be the democrats with 80% of the vote and the republicans with 52% (i know it's over a hundred but by the time the democrats rig the in postal vote you get the picture)
of course has a point. that point being that someone working at a sorting station can get rid of anything that has an r in the code that is printed on the envelope that they come in to send back. i saw this recently in a video, that there are codes on outside of this mail in thing, that denotes whether it is r or d. all someone corrupt has to do is toss the r’s into a discard pile, and viola, dems win.
I wonder if Chris Wallace got sick to his stomach after saying Trump was right about something? Wallace has a hard time with saying anything good about Republicans.
What do I think? I think the left has turned voting fraud into an art form. They’re convinced it’s OK because they’re sure their way of governing is the absolute best way and using voting ‘schemes’ to accomplish it is truly in our best interest. Its reminiscent of the old “Marxist Leninist Truth” that holds that whatever is good for the party is — by definition — TRUE.
Well, Wallace, did the light flicker just a bit with your new found knowledge.
A little common sense is more informative than your sophistry.
Given the history of the Dem’s party and large cities it isn’t a stretch to understand they’re going to cheat the system at every opportunity.
The Democrat/Socialists support mail in ballots. That is all you need to know to decide if it is fair or not. MAGA/KAG 2020
Lost count, the numbers of “lost mail” I’ve experienced with the USPS.
Let’s hope common sense prevails. No Mail-in ballots. If so, the election will become more a Rowen and Martin’s old TV comedy show…a “Laugh-in!”
The Heritage Foundation has documented 1088 cases of voter fraud by democrats/liberals and that number is rising. Only an Idiot would believe otherwise.
Chrssy’s head must have slip out of his posterior for a night.
I can finally belive Chris Wallace on something.
AH … Grasshopper has finally achieved “divine” wisdom! The waterboy (Wallace) finally found the water to put in the bucket. Talk about dense. The USPS has had a shrinking budget for years. Competition from other carriers (DHL, FEDEX, UPS, and others) has diminished the profitable routes, leaving the “outpost” areas to be served by USPS because no one else wants them. The Postmaster General was not appointed by Trump, but by vote of the USPS board of governors. To maintain the USPS, consolidation had to happen (as in any marginally profitable business). Who is primarily responsible for USPS funding? CONGRESS! Yes, the village idiots! That is after they make arrangements with the postal unions. Some setup!
It’s about time Wallace opened his eyes. I still don’t trust him. He’s a closet liberal & I have never trusted him.
I will tell you what. I am married to a Chinese national and sat through several movies about the “glorious” maoist revolution. However, one thing that, unless a Chinese really gets to know you they will never talk about the cultural revolution. They will just say “it was a very bad time in Chinese history” one they would like to forget. The history leading up to the revolution is very accurate in most cases. What happened after is not, or taught in Chinese history lessons. Mao murdered over 100 million people. During the cultural revolution the red guard would search your house for food. If they found a handful of rice hidden they would take the man of the house out in front and shoot him in the head. Then send the family a bill for the bullet! I also have a number of Vietnamese friends. They tell me stories about how the Viet Cong came looking for their fathers, breaking arms and legs of family members to find out where he was. That night sneaking off to get on a leaky boat and hope someone picks you up before it sinks. The people “leading” these revolutions promise “utopia”, never once has it happened or ever will. They always turn into brutal dictatorships. Don’t believe me? Go tell a Cambodian that you want to have the country taken over by communists and see the utter horror in their eyes. Don’t ruin a good thing with stupidity!
If mail-in voting goes nation-wide, the civil war will be close behind.
The real thing to consider is if the demunists succeed in winning the election. Within 2 yrs they will be coming around , house to house, putting your family in custody in their vehicles while they search you house for firearms. They will do so with X-ray and metal detectors over your entire property. Are you ready for that? Are you neighbors ready for that? Is your community ready for that? On and on…….
Fox was sold recently and been moving to the left. Bet he has been fired.
No fan of Mr Wallace change the channel when he appears. He gets one good mark for clear thinking about mass ballots sent out — he has a lot of good marks to earn and so does Fox generally.
TRUMP & PENCE 2020!
Wallace put his finger on something no one in the media is covering. Not that mail-in voting is bad—-if it’s done by states that have prepared and had it set up for YEARS (the State of Washington has said it takes between 5 and 10 years to get ready for mail-in voting). The problem is when states decide a couple months before a national election they want to go to mail-in voting in exponential numbers. They are estimating triple, even quadrupal amounts of votes being mailed to people WHO DIDN’T ASK FOR THEM. Please get the word out!
C’mon! The Dems know Trump is right. They may be devious, but the Dems AREN’T stupid… TRUMP2020
Now you believe our President? Democrats got caught once again with lies.
OF course the President is RIGHT, about FRAUD in mail-in-voting ! There is a huge possibility of fraud, with that type of voting. You could have “Dead people, children, animals,”, or God know what else sending in ballots ! Plus, Mail Delivery people, have been KNOWN to throw away ballots, that they think favored the person, that they didn’t want elected.
Do you think that it just dawned on Chris Wallace the difference between absentee ballots and
mail-in ballots?
Wallace is a Leftist, period… however, the pressure from the majority of FNC viewers for his ouster may be starting to work.
If you want you have my permission to share my comment so others can search and verify the facts.
Does anyone else notice that the states led by Democrats are suing Post Master DeJoy for his changes to make mail more efficient, financially stable and faster ? Reducing overtime by shifting personnel, redirecting mail to underutilized sorting centers to take the load off higher utilized ones, moving little used blue mail boxes to areas where boxes are overloaded and using temporary employees to cover Covid-19 losses in manpower. Nearly every Democrat Senator is calling for investigations instead of helping the mail move more efficiently (Sen. Peters of Michigan is even on TV calling for more investigations). None of the Democrats or Republicans in either chamber cared enough to do anything for the past twenty years, but now that Trump decided to fix another problem they are all over it with law suits and lies. No, Senator Peters, most seniors do not get Social Security or pension checks via USPS (less than 1%) and most prescription drugs are picked up or sent UPS or Fed-Ex, quit lying !
Those mail-in ballots also show on the back of the envelope whether you are a Republican or a Democrat. Would anyone care to hazard a guess as to which votes will be “lost” in the shuffle and not counted . . . !
Absentee voting by mail & voting by mail to every residents in the USA Is totally different.
We have lived in 3 different states & registered to vote in those states when we either rented or purchased a home.
Were we ever removed from those states voter rolls???? . I think not,
So those states that we moved from were Washington, & California, Two of the biggest west coast states to commit fraud . Think about it .
Unless they have changed the rules the state we reside in now , Years ago when we registered for absentee ballots because of my husbands job & travel at that time. We had to go to county recorders office with all our legal documents.
Legal address, Birth certificate, Passport, & or citizenship papers in my case & passport & fill in all the required documents . This at that time must be done several months before ANY ELECTION. Sounds right to me. How about you AMERICAN CITIZENS ???????
This entire issue is unnecessary! Absentee voting as in the past and in-person voting as usual will have some irregularities (cheating) . But implementing a new system will carry unforseen problems with no time to fix them, so leave it alone. My husband had the flu and was unable to vote in the 2008 election, and the sky didn’t fall. Life happens; no one is guaranteed absolutes.
What is being missed in all this talk of mail-in ballots is that Dem-controlled states and the Democrats in D.C. have fought for decades against both voter ID and the culling of the voter rolls, to eliminate those who have died, moved or for some other reason are not eligible to vote. As long as there are states with automatic “motor-voter” registration, even for those here illegally, the integrity of the ballot box is compromised. States that send ballots to every name on their voter rolls, without regard to a voter’s status, is just asking for trouble, and is ripe for fraud, but then, that is exactly the point. That is the Democrat way.
How many times do you receive some one else’s mail at your home? Sometimes you are able to hand deliver as it belongs to a neighbor. This time just return to sender and let them figure it out. When will it get to the proper address. Maybe to late to return and be counted.
Thanks Chuck.
Chrissy proved once again that even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then. Chrissy finally found one.
The Dims know how lazy and inept their voters really are and how they will simply forget or find something else to do so they want to bring the voting booth to the people instead of having the voters make it to the polling place. Voting is a right and it is up to the voters to make the trip to the booth for in person voting but the Dims have decided to change all that since they think having an ID is racist. Next time they will be pushing for phone in or on-line voting while lowering the age to include 5yr. olds.
Democrats are saying Trump is destroying the USPS however, financially it’s been in trouble since 1996 and Congress did nothing to fix it. They did pass bills to dump billions to cover shortages temporarily into it and reduced manpower to try and solve a bigger problem. When Obama took office in 2008 USPS had 663k employees, when he left in 2016 it had 509k employees a loss of 154k or on average 19k jobs lost per year. In 2013 under Obama USPS began delivering for Amazon on Sundays at a cost of 15% less than UPS or Fed-Ex. In 20012 USPS cut their rates on package deliveries for eBay and others below UPS, DHL and Fed-Ex with fewer employees. When Trump took office in 2016 USPS employed 509k and today they have 497k, 12k less or 3k lost per year. Trump suggests raising the package delivery cost to match it’s competitors, reducing overtime and Democrats go ballistic. Right now mail delivery is slow and bogged down and Democrats want to add another 200 million mail in ballots to USPS work load, duh ?
Wisdom from the Fraudmaster in Chief.
I know that CHRIS’ DAD…is ‘rolling over in his grave!’
Why do you think the price of gold is going “up”. In actuality the dollar is dropping like a rock because people no longer trust the United States. Just what the commies want to happen. Then tell the 90 IQ masses that they will make it better. First thing will be anyone under a 100 IQ will be sterilized with a “corona Vaccine”.
They also use finger print at time of vote on your thumb that will not wash off
There’s a reason why no other country in the world has mail in voting. In person only. In fact other country’s can’t believe that was even being considered here because of the potential for fraud is so high.
so who was paying that guy? is Leavenworth too full up with MJ covictees that there’s no room for the folks who steal my vote?
Even this ay-whole can’t deny the obvious any longer..>!
Polosi just gave the treasonous Omar money for her campaign, Because Omar was loosing to Lacy Johnson. What does that tell you about Polosi . Let alone the woman Omar ( Not her real name) who stole the campaign funds to give to her 3 rd husband firm THINK THINK THINK.
What a traitor Polosi has become to the USA citizens
One more point if we have to wear a mask at the store , nail salons , hair salons , doctors appointments. Ect. I am very sure voting will be as safe as those trips outside our home. Pelosi wants to cheat. Just like her daddy did for years and years. She learned from the master.
Remember If Biden was to win HRC has already told Biden she is ready to serve again. FOLLOW THE MONEY
Mail in voting is a breeding ground for cheating put and simple. It’s the only way that the Dems stand a chance of winning , after all the trouble they have caused, and are still causing now . All their plans to get rid of Trump have been failures So now they are setting us up for a cheat. They backed losers with Biden and kamel.
You think after he made that statement that the dem party called him and told him his honorary secret dem party membership had been revoked?
That’s why I always use Certified Return Receipt to mail my taxes each year. Most of the years my check has been cashed BEFORE my receipt is returned.
I’m sure Bill Gates and George Soros could have their people “help out!”
