The Trump campaign is broke and broken with a candidate slipping further off the rails as the minutes tick by. But he's got a very powerful, albeit illegal to use, tool: the whole of the federal government. From day one, Trump's plan was to use the White House to expand his personal brand and make him some money. Now he's using the federal government to try to hang on to the White House, using taxpayer dollars as his own slush fund.

The most egregious example of what Trump is doing to fund his campaign with federal dollars. The worst abuse has to be Attorney General William Barr's entire Justice Department being an arm of the campaign. It's bad enough that Barr is out there, in his official capacity as attorney general, echoing Trump's contention that mail-in ballots are unsafe and that this election could be rigged against his boss. "There's no more secret vote," Barr lied in an official news conference in Arizona in September. "Your name is associated with a particular ballot. The government and the people involved can find out and know how you voted. And it opens up the door to coercion." None of that is true. Your name is not on your ballot, however you cast it. Elections officials only know if you cast a ballot. Of course Barr knows that. That's not going to stop him from amplifying Trump's lies or from carving out a legal path for Trump to contest the election when it doesn't go his way.

Trump needs to be gone.

If the name is not on a mail in ballot then anyone could mail in thousands of ballots.

It appears to be from Daily Kos, based on the link.

If the name is not on a mail in ballot then anyone could mail in thousands of ballots.

How many times does it need to be explained how this works?

There is no name on the ballot. The name, signature, address, etc is on the envelope that contains the ballot.

After the information is verified, the ballot is removed from the envelope.

Overall, we rate the Daily Kos strongly Left Biased based on story selection that almost exclusively favors the left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to non-vetted content as well as a few failed fact check and misleading claims.

LEFT BIAS These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may

Not a fan of the Daily Kos for factual news, but if it were true, a whole bunch of people would end up behind bars, including trump.
