US EditionTrump Vows Executive Order to End Mail-In Ballots and Replace Voting Machines
- President Donald Trump announced on August 18, 2025, he will sign an executive order to end mail-in ballots and voting machines ahead of next year’s midterms.
- With unproven fraud claims, Trump has long opposed mail-in ballots since the 2020 election, and he renewed his assault after Vladimir Putin discussed the issue at their Alaska summit last week.
- A June report from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission found mail-in ballots made up nearly a third of 2024 votes, down from 43%, with over 99 million Americans voting by mail and no evidence of widespread fraud.
- Voting rights groups and Democratic states filed five lawsuits, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump of trying “to silence Americans and implement Jim Crow laws across America.”
- Newsweek reported the plan could prompt legal challenges by states with constitutional authority over elections, and voting may look different for older and disabled Americans if Republican-led states abolish mail-in ballots.
