Trump told by ex-GOP insider he 'played himself' by adopting 'among the dumbest ideas'

US President Donald Trump renewed calls for mandatory voter ID and criticised mail-in ballots as “inherently dishonest,” urging Republicans to pass sweeping election reforms. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/trump-voter-id-mail-in-ballot-reform-yrv99fpr?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #DonaldTrump #TrumpVoterID #MailInBallots #ElectionReform

Excerpt: "#MaineVoters have come to increasingly rely on absentee or #MailInBallots — a practice that is routinely targeted by #Republicans politicians as rife with potential fraud, even though evidence doesn’t support that.

"During last year’s presidential election, almost half of all votes cast were absentee. The latest citizen-initiated proposal would make that more difficult.
If passed, it would prohibit voters from requesting absentee ballots by phone, and would require older Mainers and those with disabilities to renew their eligibility each year. The proposal also would limit the number of #DropBoxes municipalities are allowed to have and prohibit them from including prepaid return postage."

"If Democratic leaders were so unelectable, the Republicans would not go to such lengths to rig district voting maps and keep Democratic voters from the polls. Indeed, while voter fraud is vanishingly rare, the Republicans are using the specter of it to engage in election fraud: manipulating the mechanics of an election to favor one side over another.

Trump wants to stop states from voting by mail and using voting machines

By Ashley Lopez

President Trump announced Monday on his social media site, Truth Social, that he plans to “lead a movement” to get rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines in the country ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

Part of his plan includes signing an executive order that bars states from using mail ballots and potentially some voting machines. He said, without evidence, that voting machines are “highly inaccurate,” as well as more expensive and less reliable than counting paper ballots.

“We’re going to start with an executive order that’s being written right now by the best lawyers in the country to end mail in ballots because they’re corrupt,” Trump said during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House Monday. “And it’s time that the Republicans get tough and stop it because the Democrats want it. It’s the only way they can get elected.”

Although Trump himself urged his supporters to vote using mail-in ballots prior to the 2024 presidential election, Democrats have been significantly more likely to vote using mail-in ballots, compared to Republicans, since the 2020 election. That gap has only gotten wider in recent elections as GOP-led states have passed more restrictions on this method of voting. But legal experts say Trump does not have the legal authority to tell states how to run their elections.

Michael Morley, a professor at Florida State University College of Law, told NPR that the Constitution gives Congress – not the president – the power to regulate federal elections.

#Trump, who has repeatedly floated the idea of a third term, suggested he had an idea for “3½ years from now,” when his 2nd term expires.

“You mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections?” he said. “Oh that’s good.”

Zelensky laughed & then said no.

Asked about his post on #MailinBallots & #VotingMachines from earlier today Trump declare, “Mail-in ballots are corrupt.”This is not at all where Republicans were before 2024.

#Trump said on Monday that he would lead a movement to eliminate #MailinBallots & would sign an #ExecutiveOrder to “help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.” Trump has long opposed mail-in voting & said it was a source of *fraud* during the 2020 election, though his AG at that time said that his assertions of widespread fraud couldn’t be proven.

You know why the #TangerineTyrant hates mail-in ballots? Because it is harder to intimidate voters and disrupt elections. What's the point of building up a million strong mask-wearing, armed voter-intimidation operation called ICE if people can just vote in the privacy of their own homes and undermine your effort to intimidate them??

Right wing radio reporting Trump is in a good position in Pennsylvania because Dem early voting was so low. Once again, failing to take into account if your party continuously sues to throw out early ballots for frivolous reasons, people are going to say fuck it and vote in person.

Several of the lawsuits seek to prevent states from counting #MailInBallots that are missing a date or that are received after Election Day.

Others are challenging whether states have maintained accurate #VoterRegistration lists, prevented #noncitizens from voting & tightened #VoterID rules.
