President Trump says that he will issue an executive order to require voter ID to vote and minimize mail-in voting, he posted on Truth Social.
“Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!
Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military.
USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!!! President DJT.”
In March, Trump signed an executive order that required voters to show proof of citizenship. In June, a federal judge struck part of that order….
On Aug. 19, Trump said that he would lead a movement to eliminate mail-in ballots, voting machines, and more.
Many states pivoted mail-in voting since 2020.
More than a million people in Michigan voted by mail in the 2024 election.
“We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting,” Trump posted. “All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections” (Townhall).
