President
Donald Trump on Wednesday called plans for expanded mail-in voting in Michigan and Nevada illegal, without citing a specific law, and threatened to withhold funding to the states - the latest
Republican move to try to undo steps aimed at making it easier and safer to vote during the
Coronavirus pandemic.
States have broad powers on setting rules for voting.
Trump, who has expressed his opposition to mail-in voting, said without evidence that the efforts in Michigan and Nevada - states that could be pivotal in his Nov. 3 re-election bid - could lead to voter fraud.
