On May 26, President Trump tweeted this prophecy about mail-in voting in California: “There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent.” The president predicted that the November election will be rigged and went on to describe how: “Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed.” 

This wasn’t the first time Trump issued such warnings. Since the beginning of the year, he’s done so at least 50 times, according to a tally by The Washington Post. He also questioned election integrity in 2018. And in 2016, Trump famously claimed the reason he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton was because of millions of fraudulent ballots.
