Mark Meadows And CNN's Jake Tapper Clash In Heated Debate Over Mail-In Voting Tyler Durden Sun, 08/16/2020 - 12:00

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and CNN's Jake Tapper argued for more than 20 minutes on Sunday over a wide range of issues - including mail-in voting, with Meadows insisting that states which are sending 'millions of ballots' to registered voters is "just asking for a disaster."

Via Axios:

    MEADOWS: The problem that we have here is that a lot of people are looking at just sending out ballots. California is sending out ballots. When they just send out ballots, my home state of North Carolina —

    TAPPER: California already did that for about 75% of its population. Now it's 100%. But Utah has done it for years. Oregon has done it for years. Washington has done it for years. Now there are four states that are adding to the sending out ballots to every registered voter. I understand that that's a concern that you're claiming.

    MEADOWS: "Isn't it a concern to you? Do you realize how inaccurate the voter rolls are with just people just moving around? Let alone the people that die off. But sending ballots out based on a voter roll registration? Any time you move, you change your driver's license but you don't call up and say, by the way, I'm reregistering for -- "

    TAPPER: "But there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud. "

    MEADOWS: "There's no evidence that there's not either. That's the definition of fraud, Jake."

Meadows said that reports of mail sorting machines being taken offline between now and the November election are "something that my Democrat friends are trying to do to stoke fear out there," and a "political narrative by my Democrat colleagues."

Tapper pushed back, saying "are you saying that sorting machines have not been taken offline and removed?" to which Meadows replied "Sorting machines between now and the election will not be taken offline."

When asked if he thought Sen. Kamala Harris was eligibile to run for office due to her parents being non-US citizens when she was born in Oakland - which was recently questioned by Newsweek, Meadows said "sure," noting "Jake - you and a number the media, y'all have spent more time on it than anybody in the White House has talking about this," adding "I'm more concerned with Kamala Harris's liberal ideas coming from San Francisco to the rest of America."
