President Donald Trump has announced a nationwide push to end mail-in voting, which he claims is corrupt and leads to voter fraud, although he has not provided evidence to support these allegations. Trump plans to issue an executive order aimed at eliminating mail-in ballots and some voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. He described mail-in voting as a 'scam' and a hindrance to a 'real democracy.' Trump also asserted that ending mail-in voting and switching to 100% paper ballots would result in Republicans gaining 100 additional seats in Congress. This proposal has faced criticism from election officials and voters, especially in states like Arizona, where more than 80% of voters use mail-in ballots. Legal experts, including Michael Waldman, CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice, have indicated that such an executive order would likely face legal challenges because states control election procedures. Despite Trump's efforts, mail-in voting remains popular among a majority of Americans, with nearly 30% of voters using this method in the 2024 election. The issue is gaining prominence as control of Congress is at stake in the upcoming midterms.
