Gov. Cuomo: Trump's Objections to Vote-by-Mail Are a 'Setup' to Claim Fraud When He Loses

(CNSNews.com) - In two tweets on Monday, President Donald Trump warned that 2020 "will be the most RIGGED Election in our nation's history."

He warned, in all-caps, that "MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS."

"I believe this is a setup," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told CNN a short time after Trump issued two tweets on the subject.

Obviously mail-in voting makes sense, right? You can buy something with a credit card over the Internet. Of course you can do mail-in voting.

And of course, in the middle of a pandemic why do you want to people getting on line. We've seen it. It's absurd. It's counter to public health, et cetera. 

No, I think this is a setup. I think they're going to lose the election, I think they're going to claim fraud, and they're going to go back to these states with the mail-in voting, and they're going to use that as an argument.

And I just hope they don't do that.

The one thing we can't take in this country with all this anger and all this division, we need a definitive result in November. We cannot have a situation where one side says, well, I didn't really lose, and I think -- I think this is a setup for that.

I'm sorry to say that, and it may sound cynical, but after watching this administration, sometimes cynicism is merited.
