President Says He’ll ‘Lead a Movement’ to Eliminate Mail-In Ballots

This sort of explain why seeking advice from Putin was so important to Trump during his Alaska 2025 summit.

And he got validation from Putin, so off we go, to eliminate a system that works to insure most of the non-MAGAs get to legitimately vote.

Trump said today that he would lead a movement to eliminate mail-in ballots and would sign an executive order to “help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.” Trump has long opposed mail-in voting and said it was a source of fraud during the 2020 presidential election, though his attorney general at that time said that his assertions of widespread fraud couldn’t be proven

The odd thing about that is thit affects his voters too. A lot of them live in areas that if they can't drive, can't get out of. They have no other way to vote.

So while he's attemtping to disenfranchise minorities, he is also doing the same to the poorest of his base.

Guess they don't matter even though they are a large portion of his base.

@FoxyQueen He thinks gerrymandering will do it.

@Northwest It's definitely more effective.

Mail in votes can lead to fraud.
Voting is important though.
I really don’t know what is the correct way to go.

@Northwest tbh I know no place off the top of my head, but Harris County in Texas.

I don’t know if it’s true or not but they received mail in votes by dead people, illegal aliens and stuff like that.

@specman But is really a serious problem: people voting for MAGAs based on "what if". Reminds me of when Trump went on TV and said "what if Obama was born in Kenya, wouldn't that something, so based on my hypothetical, don't vote for him". Never mind that his hypothetical was racism to the core.
@specman not been any significant reports of fraud
I live in a vote by mail state, so I track it

While there's legitimate concerns about ballot stuffing and things like arson, I'm pretty sure those things are overblown. There are multi-tiered systems in place to make sure it's caught and prosecuted.

In any case, it's in specific places for specific down-ballot elections. I have yet to see any proof that it's happening on scale wide enough to change the outcome of an election, despite so much rancor about it in 2020

@TinyViolins
Ballot stuffing or ballot box stuffing is a form of electoral fraud in which a greater number of ballots are cast than the number of people who legitimately voted. The term refers generally to the act of casting illegal votes or submitting more than one ballot per voter when only one ballot per voter is permitted.

He's voted by mail his entire life.
America never had an issue with voting integrity until Donald Trump came along. The closest thing to any kind of voting scandal was the hanging chads thing in the 2000 election, and that was not about fraud or cheating.
He starts with the flagrant charge that the States are merely agents of the Federal Government and must obey him, which is completely at odds with the Constitution's text.

We really need to keep MAGA teachers out of the public schools, at least until kids are able to read better then Trump and their parents.

@MistyCee So, about 3rd grade then.

If not disabled no reason to not vote at polling place
Northwest · M
@trollslayer They are but Trump's objective is to cast doubt on the 2020 elections. He thinks MAGA will make sure he gets elected.

@Northwest I'm sure i will be,the world could end tomorrow and it wouldn't matter would it?

He told his minions to vote by mail. He votes by mail.
Vlad's russia has mail in voting...

@Carla It has nothing to do with legitimate concerns. It's very important for him to prove he won in 2020 and the elections were rigged.

So even at the risk of alienating his voters, he thinks it's more important that history records this as a reaction to the "fraudulent" 2020 elections. A textbook case of cutting off his nose to spite his face.

Senior citizen republican voters were the ones pushing for mail in ballots 10-15 years ago. Those MFers have drank so much orange koolaide it spews from their pores.

Deliberately reducing participation in the democratic process is a hallmark of autocracy
BohoBabe · M
Yup, they're going to try to rig the midterms as much as possible.
Putin told him the election was rigged ? Why? 🤔 LOL.

This is his newest 'hoax' to keep the attention off of the Epstein investigation.
Northwest · M
@softspokenman Because he had nothing else to discuss. It's not like the summit to discuss peace in Ukraine.
