A 30-second advertisement produced by the Pennsylvania Values Super PAC drew scrutiny for its portrayal of former President Donald Trump’s stance on mail-in voting. The ad, which features old clips of Trump discussing mail-in ballot fraud, concludes with a slide urging Pennsylvania voters to “stand strong with President Trump against mail-in voting.”
In response, Trump’s campaign alleged in a letter to the Super PAC that the ad falsely claims Trump urged Pennsylvania voters not to vote by mail. The campaign’s attorney asserted that such claims could constitute a “criminal and civil conspiracy to injure the rights of President Trump’s supporters to cast their ballots in Pennsylvania.”

The accusation evokes parallels to previous legal cases involving election misinformation. Last year, Douglass Mackey received a seven-month prison sentence for social media posts encouraging Hillary Clinton voters to cast their vote via text messages.
The Pennsylvania Values Super PAC, backed by Democratic supporters, has not issued a public statement addressing the controversy surrounding its advertisement.
While Trump has expressed concerns about mail-in voting fraud, as highlighted in the ad, he has also advocated for absentee voting as a valid option for voters unable to reach polling places. In April, Trump posted on his platform Truth Social saying, “Absentee voting, early voting and Election Day voting are all good options.”
