West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, U.S. Attorney Bill Powell and Secretary of State Mac Warner announced a criminal charge against a rural mail carrier Tuesday in a voter fraud case related to absentee ballot requests.
President Trump recently accused the Democrats of using the Coronavirus as a vehicle to rig the election with mail-in voting. “Trying to use Covid for this scam!”
On Tuesday morning, President Trump said “There is NO WAY (ZERO) that mail-in ballots will be anything less than fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed.”

Many Postal Service employees are big time Democrats. Not all, but a lot of them are.
I’m sure twatter will link to this story to fact check
The left has proposed yet another incremental increase in fraud. Conversatives can NOT be content with just defeating this particular bit of fraud - mail-in voting.
Its time to pivot, attack, and oppose ALL voter fraud schemes now, that are destroying trust in entire system and our democracy. Everything from no-ID voting, to walk-up registration, to early-voting, to internet voting - it ALL must be eliminated.
Return the sanctity of the polling place and our election systems.
Tip of the Iceberg...
Not really sure that's the fraud Trump was hoping for.
Twitter warned people to fact check. And they did. D’oh!
Thomas Cooper, 47, of Dry Fork, stands charged with attempting to defraud the residents of West Virginia of a fair election. An affidavit accompanying the criminal complaint states Cooper fraudulently altered eight absentee ballot requests in Pendleton County, of which the complaint states he fraudulently changed the party affiliation on five from Democrat to Republican.

Fraud is fraud still and the dems are more apt to do it than repubs
Yes, and this particular cheater was cheating for the REPUBLICANS. So the Democrat-Media complex will be dumbfounded in trying to play the partisan card.
I guess so much for “without evidence”.
Millions of illegals were able and willing to walk, even crawl in the worst, most dangerous trek over thousands of miles, just to reach the US! And these same criminals need us to MAIL ballots to them, making it easier for them to vote in an election...for which they have NO right to cast a ballot, anyway!!!
Something is disastrously wrong with THAT picture!
Yes for sure, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I understand that 27 states allow mail in voting? (Heard from a friend) that is more than half the states. Plus I believe they all have absentee voting too. So basically the entire system is screwed.
We need Voter ID big time. For mail in voting how about this idea: (came to me last night)
The US government must have a list of all US citizens in one of their many databases, from the IRS to the Social Security system and many others.
What they should do is either require everyone to re-register. That would solve a lot.
But what about for mail in voters? You either have to sort each ballot for the correct signature (time consuming) or put a small sticker sent by the Government that has your UNIQUE ID number. If a ballot doesn’t have it, it doesn’t get counted.
That way you have a Ballot connected with You. It would also keep your ID secrete so nobody counting them could tell who it was. The Secure ID would have to be protected of course.
How else can we keep Mail in Voting Secure?
One benefit of mail in voting is that you have a HARD COPY that can be counted and tracked. We just need a good way, maybe a barcode that traces it back to a real LEGAL voter.
Here I was thinking that the mail carrier was trying to mess with the Republican nomination procedure in a similar way that “Operation Chaos” promoted by Rush Limbaugh was supposed to work.
The Democrats will just howl now that a Trump supporter is behind this, and shows that Republicans will stoop very low to undermine an election.
It is well recorded that Postal workers (Unionized) have “lost” ballots from neighborhoods with high conservative density.
Millions went to beaches & parks over the Memorial Day weekend.
They can get to the polls!!!
So I hope it pushes for more support of actual physical voting. Have voting booths in the Sun if necessary.
I believe in the idea that a vote is worth your time to go in person and pull the lever, but, not discounting your thoughts, to me the only advantage of getting the postal service involved is that mail fraud is a federal crime, and if we had the wherewithal to pursue voter fraud, you could easily put people away (kind of like Al Capone on tax evasion). But I really think in person is the right thing, unless you are military and deployed overseas.
