The dictator has more plans to rig the midterms. [View all]

President Trump said on Monday 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.”
Mr. Trump has long opposed mail-in voting and falsely claimed it was a source of fraud during the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Mr. Trump has maintained his opposition even after Republicans in the 2024 election made significant gains in mail voting when the party encouraged its supporters to make use of the practice.

Writing on Truth Social on Monday, Mr. Trump said: “THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!!”
Mr. Trump also wrote that he wanted to get rid of voting machines, which he described as inaccurate and expensive. He claimed, incorrectly, that the United States was “the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting.”

This is just awful.
