Tonight Trump appeared on Hannity to soak up some undeserved adoration, and share his plans to strangle democracy. Of course Trump has no plan for beyond the election (and his expected victory).

Trump says he will send law enforcement, US attorneys to polls in November to prevent fraud

BY JUSTINE COLEMAN

When asked by Fox News host Sean Hannity late Thursday night if the president was going to "have an ability" to monitor and avoid fraud during the upcoming November elections, Trump said, “We’re going to have everything.”

“We’re going to have sheriffs, and we’re going to have law enforcement. And we’re going to have hopefully U.S. attorneys, and we’re going to have everybody and attorney generals,” the president continued.

The president once again criticized the practice of mail-in voting, alleging that “anybody can sign” the universal mail-in ballots, specifically naming the system in Nevada.

“Nobody’s ever heard of anything like this,” he said.
