Whenever President Trump expresses doubts about full-on mail-in voting, the media can be counted on to report that the claim is made “without evidence.” Today’s example comes from CBS News’ Paula Reid:
"They all think I am trying to steal the election, just the opposite, but I want the fair results of an election," – @realDonaldTrump after, once again, attacking universal mail-in voting as a threat to democracy despite no evidence to support this claim.

And right on cue, another day has brought with it another dent in the media’s go-to retort of “without evidence”:

But the media will nevertheless keep pretending there are hardly ever any problems.

That's absurd.
There is no such thing as voter fraud, I'm told. https://t.co/GvpiUOdioK
