US EditionPresident Trump Wants to End Mail-in Voting
President Trump plans an executive order to eliminate mail-in voting and costly electronic machines before 2026 midterms, citing election fraud concerns despite lack of evidence.
- President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Monday that he will "lead a movement to get rid of" mail-in ballots and use an executive order for the 2026 midterm elections, declaring at the White House, `Mail-in ballots are corrupt`.
- Trump's push builds on his long record of election fraud claims, with renewed attacks on mail-in voting supported by the America First Policy Institute despite dozens of countries using this method.
- Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar argued mail voting is secure, widely used, and changes require Nevada Legislature and governor approval; Sarah Copeland Hanzas said, `There is simply no evidence that vote-by-mail amounts to fraud`.
- Legal experts note that President Trump lacks unilateral authority to ban mail voting, and eliminating it risks disenfranchising voters with fewer resources, seniors, people with disabilities, and military service members voting overseas.
- After meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump is drafting an executive order to end mail-in voting soon, as part of a broader strategy including congressional redistricting, raising questions for Congress and state governments.
