The Spin

Republican narrative

President Trump is right. Mail-in voting creates opportunities for fraud and undermines election integrity. Voting machines are an expensive and unreliable technology that costs 10 times more than simple paper with watermarks, while producing questionable results. The current system allows Democrats to manipulate elections through these flawed methods.

Democratic narrative

Trump is attempting to suppress the vote. Mail-in ballots provide essential voting access for those who might find it difficult to vote in person on Election Day. Federal courts have repeatedly blocked Trump's election-related executive orders and multiple judges and election experts have found no evidence supporting claims of widespread voter fraud.
