Voter turnout by mail exceeded 30% in at least 14 states and D.C. Trump won half of those states, most of which have Republican governors or secretaries of state overseeing elections.
Trump indicated that he could act unilaterally and abolish mail-in balloting through an executive order ahead of the 2026 midterms. It’s a method of voting that accounted for 30% of all votes cast during the 2024 general election, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, an independent and bipartisan government group.
Voter turnout by mail exceeded 30% in at least 14 states and the District of Columbia, according to the most recent data available. Trump won half of those states, most of which have Republican governors or secretaries of state overseeing elections. Others, like Arizona and Michigan, have Democrats overseeing elections but are major electoral battlegrounds.
Colorado has had mail-in voting for years and years. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the cons try for having states with mail-in voting that went for Taco continue to have mail-in voting and the blue states punished by NOT having it.
Having something so common sense like being able to fill out a ballot at your complete leisure and then, with zero waiting, either drop it off at a collection location or in a mailbox cannot be overstated. I’ve voted in places w/o it and have stood in line for nearly an hour in one case, and was hours late to work that day.
The idea that some have to stand in line, for hours, and only have one day to vote, in the supposed best country in the world, is simply absurd.
