The press secretary defended the president during a briefing last week after being asked about Trump voting absentee, but Wednesday tweeted that voting with mail-in ballots "has a high propensity for voter fraud."RELATED:McEnany didn't address whether or not she believes that voting in person -- at a polling station and waiting in lines with others during a pandemic -- is a reason to "expand mass mail-in voting," as she put it.Florida law allows absentee voting for any reason, The Hill .&nbsp;Absentee ballot laws currently vary from state to state.

In some states, the ballots can be accepted several days after election day as long as they are postmarked before polls closed. And while some states count the ballots as they come in, others — notably the critical battlegrounds of Michigan and Pennsylvania — have laws that forbid processing mail ballots until election day, guaranteeing the count will extend well past that night.&nbsp;Academics are looking into the matter of fear regarding voter fraud.
