NEW from me: Jenna Ellis, a senior lawyer to the Trump campaign, has frequently criticized mail-in ballots and voting by mail but she voted by mail 3 times in 2012, 2013 and 2014, according to public records. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/14/politics/jenna-ellis-mail-voting-kfile/index.html
Ellis, a frequent surrogate for the President, is also the public face of a Trump campaign lawsuit filed against Pennsylvania's counties over the state's plans to use mail-in ballots in November. She claimed, w/o evidence, that moving toward voting-by-mail could lead to fraud.
Ellis also frequently differentiates absentee ballots from mail-in ballots, echoing the President. But experts say they are nearly indistinguishable from one another in practice.
Here's a good fact check by @MarshallCohen explaining that. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/10/politics/fact-check-trump-absentee-versus-mail-ballots/

Ellis is registered to vote in Colorado, one of 5 states to have an all-mail voting system. Voters can vote in person if they prefer.
BTW, multiple studies show that voter fraud is exceedingly rare. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/14/politics/jenna-ellis-mail-voting-kfile/index.html
