evidence: Former President Donald Trump frequently spoke negatively, and sometimes falsely, about voting by mail in 2020. He called the practice "corrupt" at a February 2024 rally in Michigan. This year, he has said his goal is "one-day voting." But he has also told voters that voting by mail is a good option. In June, Trump said "whether you vote early, absentee, by mail, or in person we are going to protect the vote."
