President Trump has renewed his demand for the SAVE America Act to be passed in the Senate, telling Leader Thune to use both the Housing and FISA bills to “get it done.”
Here’s what he said:
THE SAVE AMERICA ACT MUST BE PASSED, NOW. Use the Housing and FISA Bills to get it done! Maryland just had 500,000 Fake Mail-In Ballots revealed. We cannot, as a Country, put up with this any longer!!! Voter I.D., and Proof of Citizenship, must be approved, NOW. Crooked Mail-In Voting must be stopped!!! PUT IT ALL IN THE HOUSING AND FISA BILLS. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP
What President Trump is referring to is this, via WUSA9:
Voters in Maryland were caught by surprise when they opened their mail-in ballots and saw their party was incorrect on their ballots.
The Maryland State Board of Elections says it has been made aware of an error made by a mail-in ballot vendor, resulting in some voters receiving the wrong party ballot for the Gubernatorial Primary Election.
The board is working with the vendor to send replacement mail-in ballots. They acknowledge that it is possible that only a small number of voters received the wrong ballots. However, they want to ensure everyone has the correct ballot, so all voters will be issued replacement ballots.
“We are diligently working to address this error and provide clear instructions to those affected as quickly as possible,” said Maryland State Administrator of Elections, Jared DeMarinis. “The State and Local Boards of Elections remain committed to running an election that is verified, secure and accurate. Mail-in voting is an integral facet of the electoral process. With over 500,000 voters requesting mail-in ballots, we want to eliminate any doubt in its integrity or accuracy that is why I have arranged the sending of replacement ballots.”
The replacement ballots will only be sent to voters who were mailed a ballot before Thursday, May 14. All affected voters will be notified.
