Archon Fung and Stephen Richer discuss President Trump’s assertions about mail-in voting and machines and what they portend for future elections and voter participation.
President Trump recently announced on social media his plans to “lead a movement” to ban mail-in ballots and voting machines. Ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, he outlined his intention to sign an executive order that would stop the use of mail-in voting and curb the use of voting machines, which he accused of being “highly inaccurate” compared to paper ballots.
This week, Archon Fung and Stephen Richer discuss the assertions about mail-in voting and machines, the executive branch’s authority over elections, and what this portends for future elections and voter participation.
