Trump faces a hurdle in banning mail-in voting: His own Republican Party
President Donald Trump says he wants to do away with mail-in ballots. Those inside his own fiercely loyal political party aren’t so sure that’s a good idea.
Earlier this month, Trump continued his long-running criticism of voting by mail, falsely claiming that the United States is the only country that allows such a method and calling the practice “corrupt.”
“Your election was rigged because you have mail-in voting,” Trump — quoting advice he said he received from Russian President Vladimir Putin — said in a recent interview with Fox News. “It’s impossible to have mail-in voting and have honest elections.”
In social media posts this month, including one late Saturday, Trump indicated that he could act unilaterally and abolish mail-in balloting through an executive order ahead of the 2026 midterms. It’s a method of voting that accounted for 30% of all votes cast during the 2024 general election, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, an independent and bipartisan government group.
