ACT OF VOTER SUPPRESSION OF THE DAY. Trump campaign sues New Jersey for sending mail-in ballot to every voter. “The filing was made as a ‘complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief' and described the step taken by the Democratic governor as ‘illegal'. It made two charges – first, that Murphy exercised power that belonged to the state legislature in changing the state's election law, and second, that the changes ‘will violate eligible citizens' right to vote'. Trump has said the voting method is susceptible to large-scale fraud, though experts say voter fraud of any kind is extremely rare in the United States.”
RECEIVED. Trump's mail-in ballot has been received by the Florida elections office. “The Trumps made their requests for mail ballots on Wednesday and authorized an associate to pick up the ballots the same day. They did the same for the March presidential primary.”
LINCOLN PROJECT AD OF THE DAY. America.
MELANIA. She has no plans to help Trump get reelected following the Republican National Convention: “Despite the planned high-profile convention speech, Melania Trump is not expected to be much of a surrogate for her husband this campaign cycle — even as he continues his ham-fisted approach at courting suburban White women with whom his wife might carry some appeal. Her disdain for barnstorming is something that has frustrated staff on the President's reelection team, says one person who worked closely with the Trumps in 2016.”
