Trump Says He’d Ask Court to ‘Look at the Ballots’
In the debate, President Trump said that if the election results came into question over mail-in ballots, he would have no problem involving the Supreme Court in an election decision.
“Are you counting on the Supreme Court, including a Justice Barrett, to settle any dispute?” “Yeah, I think I’m counting on them to look at the ballots, definitely. I don’t think we’ll — I hope we don’t need them in terms of the election itself, but for the ballots, I think so. Because what’s happening is incredible. I just heard, I read today where at least 1 percent of the ballots for 2016 were invalidated. They take them. ‘We don’t like them, we don’t like them.’ They throw them out left and right.” “What are you going to do about it? There are millions of ballots going out right now. What do you do?” “What you do is you go and vote. You do a solicited ballot. “No, no, I’m —” “You do a solicited ballot —” “That’s OK. Or you go and vote.” “I’m asking you about the fact that millions of people have —” “You go and vote. You go and vote.” “I know. But what I’m saying is, what are you going to do about —” “Like they used to —” “The biggest problem, in fact, over the years with mail-in voting has not been fraud, historically. It has been that sizable numbers, sometimes hundreds of thousands of ballots, are thrown out because they have not been properly filled out or there was some other irregularity or they missed —” “That can be fraud.” “— the deadline. So the question I have is, are you concerned that the Supreme Court with a Justice Barrett will settle any dispute?” “I am concerned that any court would settle this, because here’s the deal: When you, when you file, when you get a ballot and you fill it out, you’re supposed to have an affidavit. If you didn’t know, you have someone say that this is me.”
