“I have heard Donald Trump say some pretty unhinged things. I have heard them over and over and over and over again, but nothing is more dangerous to our democracy than his attacks on voting by mail in a pandemic,” Cooper, who is known for lip-syncing Trump in viral videos, said during the convention.
“Here’s the truth: Donald Trump does not want any of us to vote because he knows he can not win honestly and squarely,” Cooper added. ‘So if you intend to vote by mail or personally wear your mask, it’s your vote and it’s your right. Don’t let Donald Trump take that from you. ”
Cooper was also featured with synth-synchronization of Trump’s negative comments about voting via mail-in, including comments with details of unconfirmed concerns that ballot papers could be stolen or dropped from mailboxes.

Trump has repeatedly raised concerns about voting via mail-in, citing unconfirmed concerns about voter fraud, and critics have accused Trump of supporting the Post Office in funding the post-in-vote process.
“With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the MOST FACT & FRAUDULENT ELECTION in history,” Trump tweeted in July. “It will be a great embarrassment for the US. Delay the election until people can vote well, safely and securely ??? ”

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D) and Michigan State Secretary Jocelyn Benson (D) spoke with Cooper on Thursday in favor of the safety and security of post-in-the-vote, with both officials criticizing Trump for undermining public confidence in the process.
“Let’s talk about this election: no matter what he says, Donald Trump can not cancel it, but he and Republicans are making it too difficult to cast their ballots, and now he’s stepping on the ballot by post to distract voters. and to be confused, “said Padilla.
“Our job is to make sure that everyone can vote safely, whether in person or by post, and your job is to make sure you vote,” Padilla added. “Election results may take a little longer this year, but Democrats will fight to make sure your votes are counted.”
Benson pointed to successful 2020 election in Oregon, Utah, and Colorado – states where the majority of voters have been sending mail-in ballots for years – in pushing back against concerns about mail-in voting.
“Republicans and Democrats agree, it’s safe,” Benson said. “Remind everyone you know to make a plan to vote … at the end of the day, the biggest role in preserving our democracy is not ours, it’s you.”
