WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP)-- President Donald Trump says he wants to hold up coronavirus funding for Michigan and Nevada because the states are trying to make it easier to vote during the outbreak.
Trump falsely said Michigan was sending absentee ballots to all its voters. After hours of criticism, he corrected that to say Michigan was sending out absentee ballot “applications.” That's a step Republican election officials in several other states have taken during the pandemic.
Trump also threatened Nevada, which has actually mailed ballots to all its voters for a June 2 primary.
