Trump Attacks U.S. Voting System, Vows to End Mail-In Ballots and Machines as 2026 Midterms Near.

In the USA

The news as it trends.

President Donald Trump has reignited his campaign against mail-in voting, vowing to “lead a movement” to abolish both mail-in ballots and voting machines.

It remains unclear what he intends to replace them with.

His announcement, made on Truth Social, comes just months before the 2026 midterm elections, which many see as a referendum on his influence over the Republican Party.

Mail-in voting has been part of U.S. elections since the Civil War, allowing soldiers to vote from the battlefield.

It expanded during World War II and became a vital tool during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Voting machines have been used for decades and are considered a secure and efficient method for conducting elections in the United States.

Today, mail-in voting remains a secure and accessible method used by millions of Americans.

Trump’s renewed attacks follow claims—dismissed by courts and election officials—that mail-in ballots enabled fraud in 2020.

Critics say his rhetoric signals fear that the midterms could weaken his grip on the GOP.

With voting access and election integrity now central issues, Trump’s push to eliminate mail-in voting is expected to spark fierce legal and political battles
