Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky House race by 10,280 votes.... [View all]

His opponent received 10,854 mail-in votes.

Why is that relevant?

Because Donald Trump plans on using "mail-in" votes as part of his strategy to say the next election is rigged.

But, his candidate would not have won without "mail-in" voting. Massie would have been the victor.

Did Trump say anything about the mail-in voting in Kentucky?

Just a little factoid to store away.
