U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw calls expanding mail-in voting โplaying with fireโ despite rareness of voter fraud
Republicans and President Donald Trump have repeatedly tried to sow doubt over the reliability of voting by mail, alleging it allows for widespread fraud. During the interview with Politicoโs Tim Alberta, Crenshaw raised concerns about voting practices in Pennsylvania and Nevada, falsely saying that Pennsylvania was sending unsolicited ballots to voters. Crenshaw suggested in the interview that he worried that some ballots might be mailed to the wrong addresses, inviting fraud. Just 372 possible cases of double voting or voting on behalf of dead people were identified, the Post reported. โItโs no secret that in the suburbs and especially amongst women, that theyโre simply turned off by Donald Trump,โ Crenshaw said, later adding, โThey have a personal dislike for him.โ
