“In Arizona, Trump Boasts About His Wall and Repeats Unfounded Predictions of Voter Fraud”<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=112515>
Posted on June 23, 2020 9:03 pm<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=112515> by Rick Hasen<https://electionlawblog.org/?author=3>

NYT:<https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/23/us/politics/trump-arizona.html>

He ratcheted up his usual predictions of fraud in the November election, made without any supporting evidence, by suggesting that mail-in ballots — which will be in more widespread use as Americans face limits on their movements because of the virus — were “a disaster for our country.”

He suggested at one point that mail carriers could be held up as they delivered ballots, which could then be counterfeited by enemies foreign and domestic.

“This will be, in my opinion, the most corrupt election in the history of our country,” the president said to the crowd, which booed at the mere mention of mailed ballots.

“FBI working hard to stop election meddling, voter fraud, the director tells Fox News”<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=112513>

Fox News reports<https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-working-stop-election-meddling-voter-fraud>. If you watch the video clip, Director Wray is very understated about voter fraud, saying that it happens “from time to time” and when it does the FBI investigates.

“ACLU Settles Lawsuit against Fresno County over Removal of Polling Place in Dispute over Black Lives Matter Signs”<https://electionlawblog.org/?p=112511>

Release:

Today, the ACLU Foundation of Northern California settled a lawsuit<https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=4tNED-2FM8iDZJQyQ53jATUcw5159OXZsEq4r78Ij2vt9Pdc35pMCjAMCoWJjBAFYCzl64ZodjvejDO8twPvELqaCtilY0R18QtDE4ZpgWxNKtor5ZvTmmbCCFIDYPl1Ywrm6O_LYw3uDP5U2cmeBBe07KqI8AzZYA0AXw8fCnkHEVTP6CkfRLHjg1cuOsDjSq4rOK2frZFOU9MKjFaw4dPHVdUzeE1pYlmhF6fDBaKBZuSK9XWnstIwdbNpZh3dtGR3Y1c74GyJmHpn4sH2oToMwol3zPo9hwmMjF5TUgDZnLrOqGtmi0SSfBVRImJ-2FKtZl2G0KyeZMof-2BRLfjWqs8aW2TsgkuAmYGQL6kzsc1jvNOKVzzYLYx1wXGfWTIzbEpr2Ta6Hrm9YN-2FQYlTtB1zWoNuDkxu9F5OmxPh41tFU0HnK2mIW5RpZMl-2B0lWte338bjNI-2FwMQ-2Bm638RR5HOigQj6ouuZkPyNQg4ZHF9cscTjdFQw-3D> with Fresno County over the chief elections official’s removal of a polling place at Unitarian Universalist Church of Fresno – all because the church refused to cover up Black Lives Matter banners on church property.

The removal of the Church as a polling place was spurred by complaints from one person calling Black Lives Matter a “terrorist” group.

Under the settlement agreement, the county has agreed to designate Unitarian Universalist Church as a voter ballot drop-box location for at least four years, including two presidential elections and the primaries in between. In addition, the congregation will be allowed to continue to display its signs affirming the worth and dignity of Black Lives during the elections.
