Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) pushed back against President Trump’s claims that voting by mail disadvantages Republicans, noting that large numbers of voters in Utah, a Republican stronghold, vote by mail.
"In my state, I'll bet 90 percent of us vote by mail. It works very, very well and it's a very Republican state," Romney told reporters on Capitol Hill Wednesday, according to ABC News.
Much of the Western U.S. has voted by mail for years, and a poll released Wednesday found residents of those states are among the demographics most likely to say they would prefer to vote by mail rather than in person. Nevada’s state Republican Party is currently running Facebook ads encouraging voters to mail ballots in ahead of the deadline.
Trump, who voted by mail himself in Florida's primary this year, has stepped up his attacks on mail-in voting, threatening to withhold federal funds from Michigan after its secretary of state announced all voters would be mailed an application for an absentee ballot. Trump initially wrongly described the state as mailing out “absentee ballots” before deleting the tweet and posting a new one describing them as “applications.”
Trump sent a similar tweet about Nevada, where all active registered voters will automatically receive a mail-in ballot ahead of the June primary.
Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske (R) also pushed back, saying in a statement, "Secretary Cegavske lawfully declared the 2020 primary election as a mail-in election," according to ABC News.
"Nevada has many safeguards in place to ensure the integrity of an all-mail election, including signature requirements and verification processes, preprinted ballot return envelopes, barcode tracking, and laws against ballot harvesting,” her office added.

“For the primary in Ohio my husband and I received applications for mail in voting. We each got 2. This was done by De Wines daughter.”
That sounds like a more secure system than wide open mail in voting with regular voters.
Wrong democrap pervert, man.
Mittens is Pierre Delecto.
Hillary’s Arab mistress’s Jewish beard’s name is Carlos Danger.
Mittens is an expert on throwing elections... like 2012.
Jackass Romney will become mute again once POTUS leaves the White House in 2024. Guaranteed. If anybody needs a Logan Act investigation it is Romney.
Absentee ballot is different than vote by mail.
Romney would like to see universal mail in voting so that he can be the Leader of the Permanent and Declining Minority.
Doormat Republicans like Romney are a natural born minority party. He wants the Democrats in power so they can install a progressive corportist state figuring the GOP can regain power later and manage it. The farther left the wacked out Dems go the farther left the GOPe will go, too. I believe Romney dreams of a GOP along the lines of the Conservative Party in the UK.
WTF is this guy? I supported McCain and Romney. These are what the GOP offered. Things need to change.
He does that often.
Kind of making Trump’s point. They voted by mail and they got a Democrat as Senator.
There are ways to make vote by mail work without cheating, but Mitt does not give us the details on how it is done in Utah.
Defeated his own argument when he said “Its a very Republican State.”
It’s beyond the margin of fraud the Snakes could muster.
The fact that you got elected by this method only proves the point if vote fraud
Romney is apparently ok with vote fraud.
100% of humans pass away.
He is too stupid to be a Senator.
The Democrats are very much the Labor Party of America with bolshevik tendencies that are more muted in Britain.
Now, Mitt-for-brains, let's compare and contrast with areas famous for election shenanigans-Pennsylvania/Philadelphia, New York/NYC, Illinois/Chicago, Washington/Seattle. Areas with RAT machines manufacture votes as needed to tip the balance of the state.
Utah does not fit on the list; it doesn't mean anything.
Explains how Romney was elected.
You have to wonder if he was ‘persuaded’ to throw the match.
