Stephen Miller, one of the key advisers to US President Donald Trump, believes that foreigners will be able to vote en masse in the upcoming presidential elections due to insufficient verification of ballots sent by mail. About this on Friday, July 31, on the air of the Fox News TV channel.
“The identities of all those who send ballots by mail are not confirmed. Nobody checks if these people are US citizens. It is possible that this will happen on a scale of millions of people, ”he said.
According to a Trump adviser, “massive electoral irregularities” could result from the lack of due diligence, which Democrats oppose.
Earlier on July 30, the head of the White House proposed to postpone the elections due to the spread of coronavirus infection in the country. Later that day, the American leader explained his statement with a desire to draw attention to the cons of voting by mail. The results due to the mail vote may not be known until “a week, or a month, or years,” he added, calling this situation unacceptable.
As Trump said earlier, Democratic officials talk about foreign influence in the elections, but they know that mail-order voting remains the easy way to do this.
Currently, former US Vice President Joseph Biden is ahead of incumbent Donald Trump in voter polls in three strategically important states for the incumbent.
The U.S. presidential election is due on November 3, 2020.
