President Trump announced an intention to ban mail-in ballots and voting machines for the upcoming midterm elections. This statement has faced immediate criticism from progressive groups. Trump claimed that mail-in ballots are problematic and proposed using watermark paper instead. His assertions about mail-in voting being utilized by only the United States were quickly debunked; in fact, multiple countries worldwide facilitate postal voting of various forms. Despite his narrative, many U.S. voters used mail-in ballots in 2024, reflecting their acceptance in the electoral process.
"I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we're at it, Highly 'Inaccurate,' Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper, which is faster, and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON, and who LOST, the Election," Trump wrote in a social media post infested with lies and falsehoods.
Trump falsely claimed that no other country in the world uses mail-in voting - a blatant lie, according to International IDEA, which monitors democratic trends worldwide, at least 34 nations allow for in-country postal voting of some kind.
