Summary
Donald Trump announced plans to reform U.S. elections, including mandating paper ballots, same-day voting, voter ID, and proof of citizenship, while eliminating mail-in voting.
Trump criticized California’s ban on requiring voter ID, calling for a nationwide overhaul. Though mail-in and early voting surged during the pandemic, Trump has long opposed these methods, claiming fraud, despite evidence showing fraud rates are extremely low.
Critics argue his proposals could disproportionately affect rural, disabled, and nonwhite voters, potentially disenfranchising key Democratic-leaning groups.
The reforms would mark significant shifts in U.S. election policies.
fuck that, mail in voting has done so much good and it’s a prime step in stopping all this. if we had national mail in voting things would get better fast so no wonder they don’t want it.
what would this mean for states that already do this
A big part of why he lost in 2016 2020 was greatly expanded mail in voting. No surprise he wants to ban it.
