President Donald Trump made a startling admission during a speech in Georgia on Thursday.
Trump traveled to Rome, Georgia, home of former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, where he spoke to voters at the Coosa Steel Corporation. Trump brought up a bill currently before Congress, the SAVE Act, which would make sweeping changes to U.S. elections. While the president has consistently spoken about election security, he turned heads with his comments on the bill's impact.
"Mail-in ballots are crooked," Trump said. "We're the only country in the world to use this type of ballot ... I tell you what, Republicans have to win this one. We'll never lose a race for 50 years. We won't lose a race."
Some of the changes proposed under the SAVE Act include eliminating mail-in ballots and requiring people to register to vote with documentary identification, such as a passport or birth certificate. Election experts have said the changes could disenfranchise millions of voters, especially low-income households and women who changed their names due to marriage.
