President Donald Trump said on May 18 that he will ask the Department of Justice (DOJ) to launch a probe into a mail-in ballot error in Maryland.
Maryland State Administrator of Elections Jared DeMarinis said over 500,000 voters requested mail-in ballots. But the error affected only voters who mailed their ballots before May 14, according to the board.
“In Maryland, they sent out 500,000 Illegal Mail In Ballots, and they got caught! So now, they’re going to send out 500,000 more Mail In Ballots, but nobody knows what’s happening with the first 500,000 they sent.
“[Moore] allowed this to happen in order to make sure that Democrats win. It never made sense to me that Maryland was considered an automatic Democrat State, but now I see why. I’m sure this has gone on for years,” the president wrote.
The Epoch Times has reached out to Moore’s office for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
“When they were caught, they said, ‘Oh, we'll pull them back,’ and they issued 500,000 new ballots, and, as you know, they never got the original ballots back, so there are a million ballots out there. Many of them went to Democrats, and it's a very serious thing,” he said.
“Every return envelope/oath has a unique identifier to ensure that a voter can only vote one ballot. [The Board of Elections] has implemented additional safeguards to ensure only the correct ballot is counted for each voter,” it said.
