Andrew Harnik/Getty Images"President Donald Trump pledged Monday that he will try to eliminate mail-in voting, after telling Fox News that authoritarian Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed with him on the subject during their meeting last week.
"Despite lacking any sort of constitutional power on the matter, Trump declared in a Truth Social post that he would sign an executive order to 'help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections,' and attempt to strip states of their independent authority to oversee elections, and is demanding they just do what he tells them to."

NEW YORK (AP) — "President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a sweeping executive action to overhaul elections in the U.S., including requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and demanding that all ballots be received by Election Day.
