How exactly does 1000 cases of fraud over 40 years back up his tweets in any way? The voter fraud argument is a political weapon for voter suppression. Not to mention that mail in ballots are already in existence. Heck, I've used them

Big citation needed on who of non-voters support Trump. Most opinion polls that include anyone (not just registered voters) still have Trump's approval at 40ish percent the past 4 years. If you say all polling is invalid/not repre
