A week ago, CNN's Wolf Blitzer was forced to issue an on-air correction after he shared fake news about President Trump's mail-in ballot executive order. During an interview with Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, Blitzer falsely claimed that military personnel and others serving overseas in various capacities would be impacted by the change.
Blitzer later "clarified" that the Uniformed and Overseas Absentee Voting Act already covers our military members, diplomats, and other overseas workers and they were not impacted by the new mail-in voting executive order.
But that didn't stop Democrat lawyer Marc Elias from lying again about the rule, claiming it would disenfranchise overseas voters.
🚨BREAKING: A nonpartisan network of former military and civilian leaders is warning that hundreds of thousands of overseas voters could be disenfranchised if a new USPS rule based on the president’s order is allowed to stand. https://t.co/Pv3eKkMaQ3

This just isn't true, and even Wolf Blitzer was forced to admit it.
What a shameless liar

That's what they do best.
Gaslighting.

Ballots coming from overseas and military voters are exempt from the new regulation's requirements. https://t.co/mwkVXJ2nII
Elias knows that. But he's hoping his audience does not.

Exactly. This is as much a "nonpartisan" group as this writer is the Queen of England.
All they do is lie https://t.co/bEkvhmjuEu

They have no policies to run on, they have no ideas to offer the American people. All they have is lies and a promise to weaponize government and destroy America if they get into power.
