President Donald Trump threatened Wednesday to hold up coronavirus relief money for Michigan after he said erroneously that the state had sent absentee ballots to millions of voters. It's not clear that he can do so.

Michigan mailed applications for the absentee ballots, not the ballots themselves. Michigan sends absentee ballots to 7.7 million people ahead of Primaries and the General Election," Trump tweeted Wednesday.

This was done illegally and without authorisation by a rogue Secretary of State. I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!
