U.S. Rep Paul Gosar tweeted a video of President Donald Trump in April decrying mail-in voting. “I think a lot of people cheat with mail-in voting,” Trump said in the video.
“Be wary of efforts to steal and corrupt our electoral process through ‘ballot harvesting’ and other avenues to voter fraud,” Gosar wrote on Twitter. “Voting by mail is a dangerous and slippery slope!”
But the Prescott Republican congressman has voted by mail at least eight times dating back to 2012, according to voting records provided to Arizona Mirror by the Yavapai County Recorder’s Office.
In May 2012, Gosar signed up for Arizona’s Permanent Early Voting List, the records show, meaning that he would automatically receive an early ballot for each election in which he was eligible to vote.
He subsequently voted by mail in the primary and general elections in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018.
Gosar’s office did not respond to a request for comment for this story.
