so hinton reminds voters to get their ballots in by election day. >> hinton: i'd make sure to get it early possible if you're going to use that process. >> whitaker: why do you think vote by mail has become such a contentious controversial issue? >> hinton: there have been a lot of people that have been disenfranchised. and so voting by mail just gives back a lot of people, you know, the ability to vote that maybe couldn't take off work or just-- for whatever reason couldn't get there to vote on one day out of the year. and so this now provides an opportunity for so many more people to vote. and i think that that is scary to some people. >> trump: these mail-in ballots, these mail in ballots are a disgrace and they know it. >> whitaker: president trump has visited pennsylvania four times since june. in 2016, he lost the big cities of philadelphia and pittsburgh, but won the rural vote in a landslide and took the state by 44,000 votes, that's less than 1%. so far this year more than two million pennsylvanians have requested mail in ballots, more than two-thirds of them democrats. almo
