\n

This past week, President Trump renewed his unsubstantiated claim that mail-in voting begets inaccurate or fraudulent results when he raised the prospect of delaying November’s election.<\/p>\n

“With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history,” Trump tweeted Thursday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump’s rhetoric alarms Kim Wyman, the secretary of state of Washington, one of a handful of states that vote almost entirely by mail. A growing number of states are embracing mail-in voting<\/a> — which is essentially the same as absentee voting — over fears that going to polling stations could increase exposure to the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

“I think it really shatters peoples’ confidence in the process,”Wyman, a Republican, said in an interview with All Things Considered<\/em> on Saturday. “We need to make sure we’re inspiring confidence in the public that this is a fair election. And the way you do that is balancing access and security.”<\/p>\n

Contrary to the president’s claims, fraudulent mail-in voting is very rare<\/a>, according to election security experts. And as for Washington, Wyman said, “We’ve seen a very low incidence of any kind of voter fraud.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
