Behind the scenes, a key ally says that former President Donald Trump is encouraging state lawmakers in Pennsylvania to repeal Act 77, the law that allows all voters in the state to cast ballots by mail, an effort that reveals that he is working behind the scenes to affect the 2022 midterm elections.
On Sept. 6, there was a meeting in Trump Tower with Trump and key allies about how to urge Pennyslvania state Republicans to overturn or repeal Act 77, according to veteran political strategist and longtime Trump ally Michael Caputo, who participated in the meeting. The law, passed in 2019, enables "no excuse" mail-in voting and was upheld by the state Supreme Court earlier this year. The gathering was first reported by the news site Semafor and further details were reported by Rolling Stone.
