Days after Donald Trump expressed opposition to mail-in voting in an interview, there is an electronic sign inside the arena where the former president is set to take the stage encouraging attendees to “secure a mail-in ballot today.”
Trump will speak later today at the 1st Summit Arena in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The sign also highlights key dates that Pennsylvania voters should remember.
The messaging aligns with Republicans’ ongoing effort to encourage voters in the Keystone State to utilize mail-in ballots. The Republican National Committee and Trump’s campaign touted a new website this week that provides easy access to Pennsylvania’s election resources, allowing voters to request mail-in or absentee ballots directly.
But the same day the campaign introduced the website, swampthevote.com, Trump directly opposed mail-in voting during an interview with Dr. Phil, saying, “Mail-in ballots shouldn’t be allowed.”
“What we have to do is get control, and then we have to change it, and it’s a very simple change: same-day voting, everybody votes,” Trump said.
