Putin Talks About the "Flawed" U.S. Electoral System with Trump
During an interview with Fox News, Trump said that Vladimir Putin explained to him why he lost to Joe Biden in the previous election. According to Putin's explanation, the reason was the U.S. mail-in voting system.
According to Trump's account, Putin claimed that no other countries in the world have a similar voting method, calling it an undemocratic procedure because ballots sent by mail pass through many people's hands.
However, the fact is that mail-in voting exists in many countries, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Canada, and Switzerland.
According to data from the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, cases of fraud in mail-in voting are extremely rare. For example, in the United States, the rate of fraudulent ballots found between 2000 and 2020 was approximately only 0.00006%.
