Donald Trump says he's "going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS" after court rejects bid
“going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS”
Reported September 15, 2026 by kalw.org. Checked word for word against that report.
The Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump’s bid to impose new Postal Service requirements on mailed ballots for the 2026 midterms, leaving lower-court injunctions intact and allowing normal ballot delivery, with mailed voting already underway in several states. The plan, following a Trump executive order, would have required states to submit voter names and addresses and use specific envelope barcodes. Trump has long criticized voting by mail; in a social-media post last year he said he would oppose the practice and called elections under it untrustworthy. He said the changes aimed to stop noncitizen voting, which studies and audits indicate is rare; administration lawyers offered no evidence of mailed-ballot fraud in this case. Trump voted by mail in Florida this year.
