President Trump said Thursday that he opposes funding for the United States Postal Service and election security grants in an effort to stymie mail-in voting for the upcoming presidential election
The House bill contained a myriad of funding streams, including $3.6 billion in “election resilience grants,” which election administrators across the country could use “for contingency planning, preparation, and resilience of elections.” The money could be used on everything from preparing for the influx of mail-in ballots, to protecting in-person voting and buying personal protective equipment for poll workers.
As of late, Trump has sought to draw a distinction between absentee voting and mail-in voting. Election experts often use the term interchangeably, but there is a difference between universal mail-in voting — where voters are automatically mailed a ballot, whether they requested one or not — and most states’ systems.
Five states do it as a regular course: Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah and Washington. Three states — California, Nevada and Vermont — along with the District of Columbia, plan on mailing voters ballots in response to the pandemic.Every county in the state opted toMost states do allow for no-excuse absentee voting, meaning any voter can request an absentee ballot, regardless of health status, age or other factors.
