Trump on Truth: “ I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS…”
Truth Social ^ | Aug 18, 2025 | Donald Trump

Posted on 08/18/2025 6:14:33 AM PDT by fours

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. We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. 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. Remember, the States are merely an “agent” for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do. With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women’s Sports, Transgender and “WOKE” for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM. ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING, and everybody, IN PARTICULAR THE DEMOCRATS, KNOWS THIS. I, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL TO BRING HONESTY AND INTEGRITY BACK TO OUR ELECTIONS. THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX, USING VOTING MACHINES THAT ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER, MUST END, NOW!!! REMEMBER, WITHOUT FAIR AND HONEST ELECTIONS, AND STRONG AND POWERFUL BORDERS, YOU DON’T HAVE EVEN A SEMBLANCE OF A COUNTRY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I recall hitch-hiking from New York to south Jersey to cast my ballot.

Mail-in ballot voting was greatly expanded and funded by the $2 Trillion March 2020 Covid-response CARES Act.

Do you know who opposed it at the time? Thomas Massie of KY.

The “vote-by-mail” option was very badly abused in 2020. There is room for VERY LIMITED application of this option, and it should be stringently enforced. No late postmarks, no duplicates, no harvesting, and no “mind reading” of the applicant’s intent on a mismarked ballot, like marking two candidates for the same office. Spoiled ballot, throw it out.

To get the time for this and the midterms, Trump will have to cut back on the foreign policy adventures.

In answer to your question: Their “message” doesn’t work anymore and getting rid of voter fraud leaves only violence or outright armed insurrection. It’s what commies do when all else fails.

Washington State , Gregoire fraud election, all began with finding more ballots to count. Yes please do away with mail in elections.

There’s some wiggle room here for federal elections, but it’ll have to get through Congress, and I don’t see the Senate voting for it. I think the biggest problem here in CA is the couple weeks to “cure” ballots after the election. They flat out stole 4-5 congressional seats in 2024 using “curing.”

I thought that the GOP caught up on getting mail-in ballots for GOP candidates and may actually have the edge.

You are correct. I would like to see supervised, on-location, paper-ballot and tabulation voting for the military, with arranged exceptions for those out individually in the field somehow.

As to college students and similar? I’d take only in-person, absentee ballots on a supervised schedule.

Expect the criminal media to go into full meltdown.

How is the far-left going to steal elections when this is implemented?

That’s why he’s calling it a “movement”. It will take persuasion and isn’t a done deal.

“Constitution says that states are in charge of the time, manner and place of voting....”

For House elections, the Congress has ultimate authority.

There’s also due process protection that must be provided by states.

“I won’t be bothered to drive over to the voting venue.”

You do you.
Meanwhile mail in voting is rigged by Democrats as a threat to Democracy. So are weeks of voting before elections. There should only 2 days for voting. Make them Monday and Tuesday. If you can’t get your ass to the polls Monday or Tuesday then tough luck.
