Trump Vows Executive Order to End Mail-In Ballots and Replace Voting Machines
Trump aims to end mail-in voting used by over 30% of voters and ban costly voting machines, citing election fraud concerns despite lack of evidence and likely legal challenges.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump pledged in a social media post to lead a movement ending mail-in ballots and voting machines in U.S. elections.
- This pledge follows his March 25 executive order targeting mail voting, which courts blocked after lawsuits by Democrat-led states challenging its legality.
- Trump falsely claimed the U.S. is the only country using mail-in voting and that states must follow federal directives, despite election laws granting states policy control.
- He claimed that the United States is currently the only country using mail-in voting, asserting that every other nation discontinued the practice due to widespread voter fraud.
- Legal experts and election officials note mail-in ballots remain widely used with minimal fraud, and the president lacks authority to dictate state election rules via executive order.
