Trump claims mail-in ballots accounted for nearly 30% of 2024 votes and vows to replace voting machines with paper ballots, prompting expected legal battles over election authority.
- On August 18, 2025, Trump claims he will sign an executive order to end mail voting, amid ongoing debate over election procedures.
