Trump spread conspiracies on mail-in voting for years. Now his campaign is urging people to vote early and by mail

Donald Trump's campaign is urging people to vote early and by mail, while also working to expand voting access in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene .

At least 286,000 estimated robocalls with this recording were sent to voters in key swing states.

Trump has previously pushed for early and mail-in voting as part of the Republican National Committee's get-out-the-vote program.

Trump 's campaign is actively promoting early in-person and mail voting, even as the former president pledged to eliminate the practice in 2020 .

He falsely implied they were insecure voting methods in a June video posted to a voting resource website paid for by the Republican National Committee .

In April , Lara Trump sent out a scripted call to voters saying Democrats committed “massive fraud” in the 2020 election.

“Even to the extent these disasters cause different hurdles, the policy solutions are often the same,” said Morales-Doyle of the Brennan Center . “Expanded access is key, and in order to expand access, funding is key. The things we’re advocating for right now in North Carolina and Florida , in many ways, echo the things we were advocating for in 2020 .” For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at CNN.com .
