In an interview on Fox Business Network, Trump explicitly noted two funding provisions that Democrats are seeking in a relief package that has stalled on Capitol Hill. Without the additional money, he said, the Postal Service won't have the resources to handle a flood of ballots from voters who are seeking to avoid polling places during the coronavirus pandemic.

“If we don’t make a deal, that means they don’t get the money,” Trump told host Maria Bartiromo on Thursday. “That means they can’t have universal mail-in voting; they just can’t have it.”

Agree or not, Trump's claim is that mail voting undermines integrity. And whether he's theoretically correct or not, honest or not, the first evidence from Paterson NJ showed that mail-in voting spoiled every vote for council. The number of ruined ballots was greater than the margin of victory. People are calling it a "win" because some of the fraudsters (or misguided people accidentally violating electionaw) were arrested, but that doesn't unspoil the vote.
