In order to secure the integrity of our elections, President Trump is now promising to completely end the use of mail-in ballots and voting machines. In a lengthy post on Truth Social, President Trump said he is “going to lead a movement” to clean up our elections — starting with signing an executive order to bring “HONESTY” to the 2026 midterms. That’s what I’m talking about! Read his full statement right here: 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 Later today, at the White House, President Trump doubled down and said that the executive order is already being drafted. Watch here: BOMBSHELL: President Trump just announced he’s going to do everything in his power to END mail-in voting. “We’re going to end mail-in voting — it’s a FRAUD.” YES!!!! THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR!!!! pic.twitter.com/zBeNZguNIt — Bo Loudon (@BoLoudon) August 18, 2025 Politico has more: Trump has for years opposed mail-in ballots, insisting that they played a role in voter fraud he baselessly claims cost him the 2020 presidential election. The president on Monday indicated he would sign an executive order to assist with the effort to roll back mail-in voting. He also said he would target voting machines, instead favoring watermark paper for ballots. In an Oval Office appearance with Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump said lawyers were currently drafting the order. “That’s bigger than anything having to do with redistricting, believe me,” he said. “And the Republicans have to get smart. We’re not going to have a country.” In response to a request for comment on what the executive order would entail, Harrison Fields, special assistant to the president and principal deputy press secretary, said Democrats have “eroded faith in our elections.” “President Trump wants to secure America’s elections and protect the vote, restoring the integrity of our elections by requiring voter ID, ensuring no illegal ballots are cast, and preventing cheating through lax and incompetent voting laws in states like California and New York,” Fields said. There’s no one better to lead the fight for fair and honest elections than President Trump… Do it, Mr. President! Trump is going after voting machines and mass mail-in ballots These are necessary fights to save America Democrats do nothing but cheat, cheat, cheat in elections and we must fight like hell to end it https://t.co/jgywMpykYD — DC_Draino (@DC_Draino) August 18, 2025
