“Republicans are pouring tens of millions of dollars into getting GOP voters to cast ballots before Election Day,” Politico reports. “They’re frustrated because Donald Trump keeps getting in the way.” “In just the last few weeks, the former president has dismissed early voting as ‘stupid,’ falsely claimed that 20 percent of mail ballots in Pennsylvania are ‘fraudulent,’ suggested mail carriers could ‘lose hundreds of thousands of ballots, maybe purposefully,’ and baselessly accused Democrats of exploiting a program that sends ballots to overseas and military voters to evade citizenship checks.”
