President Trump: Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can't have an honest election with mail-in voting, and he said there's not a country in the world that uses it now. Oh, I, I would love to see election reform. We have to do it. I don't know why we're not doing it. If you bring it up, the Democrats don't want it. Look, the Republicans want it. But not strongly enough. I mean they gotta want strong because it can't be, it can't be honest.

It's really, it's very hard to do something fraudulent. With a mail-in voting, it's a, it's they give you boxes of stuff you have no idea where they came from.

Voter ID signature verification, chain of custody controls, updated voter rolls, partisan observers watching the voting all day. The vote counting all night. You do paper ballots. You pick a winner and everyone goes home with confidence in the integrity 10% of the cost. So if you do paper ballots, it costs you 10% the cost of machines.
