Re "President attacks mail-in ballots, machines"; "Newsmax to pay $67 million to settle Dominion suit," Aug. 19

What about the 2024 election?

ΟNE front-page Aug. 19 article says Russian President Vladimir Putin told President Trump that the 2020 election (that Trump lost to Joe Biden) was fraudulent because of mail-in ballots. Trump also was quoted in the article as stating that voting machines "ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER." The same processes and equipment were used in the 2024 election. Doesn't that mean that Trump's election as president in 2024 could have also been fraudulent? On page 10 of the same paper, the reader learns that Newsmax, which published false reports about voter fraud with Dominion voting machines, will pay $67 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle its defamation lawsuit.

I am trying very hard to wrap my head around this latest statement by Trump about our voting processes.

He is taking advice on how to run a free, fair and democratic election from a Russian dictator whose critics are frequently jailed and mysteriously killed and whose own elections have been subject to a series of credible fraud claims? Next, Trump will be soliciting Putin's advice on military matters.

Oh wait, he just did that in Alaska! MICHAEL E. MAHLER Los Angeles Trump's lack of selfawareness concerning his advocacy role against mailin ballots, based on Putin's recommendation, only points to Putin's influence on the president and Trump's shameless respect for him and continued disregard for our democracy and the voting rights.
