President Donald Trump is making bold claims as he positions himself at the forefront of a significant electoral reform initiative. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump announced plans to eliminate mail-in voting and voting machines in U.S. elections, declaring, “I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS… Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES.” He aims to sign an executive order ahead of the 2026 midterms, emphasizing the federal government’s role in ensuring fair elections.
Trump insists that mail-in ballots undermine election integrity, stating, “ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING.” He further declared, “I, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL TO BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR ELECTIONS.” His fervent tone reflects a deep-seated belief that eliminating these voting methods is critical to restoring trust in the electoral process.
In Trump’s view, the states act merely as “agents” of the federal government when it comes to counting votes, implying a more unified approach to managing elections. He argues, “FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY,” that it’s time to address what he describes as a “MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX” and problematic voting machines.
Supporting Trump’s initiative, GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene echoed his sentiments, stating, “I strongly support President Trump in ending mail in voting!! Elections have been stolen for decades with this practice that is ripe for fraud.” Greene’s words suggest a widespread concern among some Republicans regarding the integrity of elections, particularly focusing on the potential for fraud linked to mail-in ballots.
All this comes as the political landscape gears up for upcoming elections, where issues of voting methods are likely to be debated fiercely. Trump’s calls for reform resonate with many who share his concerns about election integrity and the desire for a more transparent voting process.
