President Trump calls for the end of mail-in balloting
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to call for the end of mail-in balloting. Trump also called for the end of utilizing controversial voting machines. In his post, Trump mentioned that other countries were not using this voting method based on the associated election fraud. Trump called for the use of accurate and sophisticated watermark paper. Using simple ballot counting methods including simple ballot counting machines to count the watermark paper ballots would result in an accurate count and leave no ambiguity on who won.
From The Post Millennial (post quote):
“We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting,” he went on. “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”

Mixed emotions.
Elderly and people with severe disabilities may require it.
I thought of this too. I don’t have a problem with it so long as those ballots are highly scrutinized and the two above demographics are the only ones who get them.
Read plenty of stories of nursing home workers “assisting” the residents with their absentee ballots. If you’ve been a coma for last six years, do you still get to vote? Why not, they let the dead vote.
Hence why I said heavily scrutinized. What form that takes depends. Addresses for a graveyards or crematoriums are suspect. So are addresses for hospitals and long term care facilities. To verify whether or not a voter with a mail in ballot is legitimate may require extra effort. An election official going with the ballot to confirm ID and eligibility, perhaps. The resources to make that work would be alot, but that’s how I think it can work (off the top of my head) if we are committed to keeping mail in ballots.
*highly
Proof reading skills.
My supervisor’s dad got his 2024 ballot mailed to his other son’s address, that he’s never lived at. That’s curious enough, and when you add in the fact that he passed away in 2014, it gets a little sketchy. Utah might wanna check their system.
Concur. I kinda like AZ’s mail in ballots, but they’re not sent out en masse to “occupant”. You have to request it and signatures are verified. But, I’ll survive just fine if it goes away.
Same with Washington state.
I get his point, I do. And yours. It has to be clean, verified and to the standard.
But a lot folks have earned the right to vote (which I wish more would take) and just have challenges.
Its not a one-size-fits-all policy for the wealthy GOP.
Multiple dozen Democrat ballots for I.P. Freely are not cool.
I remember his book, “Yellow River.”
Didn’t he also write the novel called “under the bleachers”, with the nom de plume Seymour Butz?
I believe that was I P Daily.
Although ol’ Deez Nuts did have a clever idea in ’16:
Green Thumb,
No. The elderly and the disabled do not require it. People who benefit from the government should not have the right to vote for who controls the government, as it is clear who they will vote for.
That’s why in every electoral cycle, the Demorats have ads accusing the Republitards of trying to cancel Social Security and Medicare.
So no. Those who cannot go to the voting booth should not have the right to vote. Period.
A disabled vet with no legs or other limitations (mobility issues) and an honorable discharge damn well has the right to vote.
That’s one guy. Against a gazillion fake disabled democrats taking the taxpayers’ money.
In person, or no vote.
That’s the only way to stop the stealing of elections.
I would like to also adopt what they did in A-Stan. When a person votes his thumb is dipped in purple ink, precluding voting more than once.
What if the guy is all thumbs, like Psul of The Ballsack? Does he get to vote ten times?
Real voter registration!
So one guy, huh? There are more.
Wow.
Whether someone benefits from the system or not is immaterial. If they are a US citizen and are of clinical sound mind, they get a vote. Period.
I benefit from the government. Army retirement, VA disability, and a federal job. Are you saying that I should not be allowed to vote? How is it clear who I will vote for? Are you advocating for the restriction of certain people’s constitutional rights based on their abilities? Why not do the same for skin color or national origin? Maybe only property owners should vote, we could even consider a literacy test. You really didn’t think this through, Joe.
Not to mention the demographics Joe named are not homogeneous in their voting preferences. I’m autistic and that’s a disability, but I’m conservative. My dad is an Army vet in his 60s, but he’s a Trump fan. Some idiots out there suggest we should take away women’s right to vote because they’re overwhelmingly dims, but my mom’s a Trump fan too. The point I’m trying to make here is this: at best, with this line of thinking, we keep those who think along the same lines as us from the voting booth and that hurts us. At worst, we turn off a whole lot of people from our line of thinking (people who’ve been disenfranchised by the dims), they switch their vote again, dims get back in majority control of our government and we’re really hurting. This proposed approach to fixing our voting system by Slow Joe does NOT work.
AND Voter ID. Every place Every single time.
You need a got-damn ID to do just about everythiing ELSE after you’re 18 so fuck it. 100% ID Check.
American voting. No illegal aliens allowed. All over except for the crying liberal.
I need to show a drivers license to buy beer.
And they scan it. I’m sure it’s cyber secure as shit.
Who pays the ever increasing postage for mail in ballots?
Can I show up at a polling place and request a mail in ballot?
Can I request a return reciept and other options such as
insurance if I mail it at a post office during normal hours?
Washington state has drop boxes outside libraries and the county office building. Postage paid if you want to mail it also.
“Postage paid”
By who? That’s right, me and you.
My wife orders stuff cross stitch patterns and they come through ups, FedEx and USPS. She gets tracking info from seller and USPS is the worst. Package arrives st.louis, ok, a day or 2 away from delivery. Pkg gets sent to a town 50+ miles away, bypassing our post office. Gets sent back to St. Louis, rerouted to our post office and sent back to St. Louis. To call them incompetent is a disservice to the word incompetent. And we are asked to trust the USPS with mail as important as your ballot? Phfft.
Y’know, it’s funny how NONE of the perpetually blue-voting locales have any kind of Voter ID required. Happenstance? Coincidence?
By design?
Washington let’s you register to vote when you apply for a driver’s license.
¡Olé!
Illinois as well.
It’s the Ch*tcago way!
It’s the Federal “Motor Voter Act” where they pretty much have to ask if you’re a Registered Voter when you apply for or renew your Driver’s License.
Requiring a government issued photo identification to vote is racist. But apparently requiring a government issued photo identification to board an an airplane, buy alcohol, enter a casino, cash a check, purchase a firearm, operate a motor vehicle or enter a government building is not racist.
I like those progressiveliberaldemocratdipshits that say “It should be as easy to vote as it is to buy a gun”.
Yeah, I’m on the far side of 70 and I still have to show ID to buy liquor. And to buy spray paint.
Spray paint is habit forming, ya know!
One other note….we are only 7 months in to 3 & 1/2 years….can you fathom how far we’ve come in just these 7 months and can you just *imagine* the disclosure of what’s to come going forward??
Personally, every few days and weeks, it’s like fucking CHRISTMAS and Donald J. “ Cheeto Bandito, Mango Mussolini, Bonespurs L Pootinfluffer, Agolf Tweetler, Tangerine-Tinted Trashcan Fire, Sack of Gilded Lunchmeat, Screaming Carrot Demon, Angry Creamsicle, Benedict Donald, Golden Wrecking Ball, King of the Oompa Loompas, Vanilla ISIS, Orange Caligula, Putin’s Papaya-Flavored Pawn and Trumpleforeskin, 😀 to name a few is going to KEEP WINNING and kicking Lars Liberal, Proggy, Socialist Commie Taint Tuchuses, until we can possibly not have any more WINNING!!! ??? yeah, bout that….”Monsieur …a tiny little wafer thin bit of MOAR WINNING???”
I say, “OK. yes please..”
Yeah um, no.
I’ve voted by mail before, for many people who served it was the only possible way. Lots of people live overseas or work remotely and simply can’t get to the polls on election day. There are ways to make this work, lots of easy ways. But getting the Democrats to agree to them is probably a bridge too far. Especially since they keep pretending that people that have no ID are civically engaged enough to vote. The Democrats seem to want to burn it all down rather than surrender anything.
Trump is full of shit. Lots of countries like Canada and Germany allow people to vote by mail. Some countries require an approved reason the person can’t make it to the polls, I’m not really in favor of that either but it could be a compromise.

Can they not set up remote polling places at overseas bases? They have their IDs, polls are open for 13 hours so no excuse there. No more if post marked by crap. It’s one day every 2 years, I doubt many will be inconvenienced if they miss an election. Find the ones who don’t vote, and they can hold the fort down for an hour or so to allow those that do vote the opportunity to do so.
No, voting is a state/ territory thing. They would have to have 54 ‘voting booths with 54 different ways to vote at dozens of facilities around the world. Then there are guys on Navy ships and deployed in places or ways to make it impossible to vote.
We arent talking about small number either. It’s not just military. Lots of civilians and .gov including workers on oil rigs, seaman on merchant ships, millions of over seas workers. it’s a really long list of legitimate reasons that people can’t vote in person. We are talking about 5 million people, the numbers aren’t exactly small. Hell, both my next door neighbors often work remote and are gone for weeks or months at a time and they work in the US.
This is another one of those not so good ideas that wasn’t properly vetted or researched that doesn’t accomplish what it intended to do (reduce vote fraud) and instead will just piss people off.
American CITIZENS working abroad and American CITIZENS that have physical limitations are the ONLY ones, in my opinion, that should be allowed mail in ballots. We know when the election is scheduled for, so those ballots should be requested early enough in advance to be fully vetted. It’s been done for years and hasn’t become a “thing” till the last several years. The Dems are trying to make it TOO easy to cheat. In their favor of course
I believe (personal feelings) that Trumps election was stolen and the win was handed to Brandon in 2020. I think that Trump, rightly so, has some scar tissue from it. So, I don’t think that he is “full of shit”
I didn’t say he was completely full of it. But he is straight up lying about no other nations doing mail in ballots. Because as I showed, many countries do have mail in ballots. Unfortunately, an easily provable fact that prove his assertions wrong weakens his entire argument.
Some countries, such as Russia, use mail in ballots and believe it or not, internet voting, to consolidate power. A better an argument would have pointed out these type problems instead of an incorrect blanket assertion that hurts his credibility.
But what does my neighbor do when his company sends him half way across the country on election day? Seems like he has a legitimate concern here.
Mail in voting, (Parts of) Michigan style.

The city of Dearbornistan has the same problem as Hamtramck, Muslim voters, Muslim vote counters and, for all intents and purposes, Muslim government. That’s why there are so many sentences that end with “and no charges were filed”.
Elderly? Immobile?
Yes. If physically limited.
Having just read an article about some Dem local area politician winning an election while on video personally stuffing ballots in the mail-in ballot box, I’m a firm believer that probably 95 percent of voters should be, and can be, held accountable for showing up at the voting booth in person and the other five percent should be held to some standard before approved for a mail in. Yeah, that’s one long sentence. Don’t bust on my grammar.
Late to the party and probably not doable but here’s my idea.
Anyone who wants a mail in ballot can have one. Their SS#, name and DOB are on the outside of the sealed ballot. That gets scanned and checked against SS for citizenship. If it’s already been used, they’re not a citizen, it’s missing, it does not get opened and counted.
I do believe SS numbers don’t show citizenship/aren’t married to citizen rolls, but how hard would that be to do? DOGE did what no one believed could be done in record time with smart enough code. Why not for this?
Go ahead, tell me all the ways what seems to me a simple solution isn’t possible.
The Democrats will argue that there are (imaginary) people that don’t have a social security number and still vote.
The only minor plot hole here is that 20 million Americans have two social security numbers. Real fraudsters have five or more numbers. I’m hoping they are cleaning all that up now. Definitely reasons why Democrats don’t want it fixed.
Plus they love mail-in ballots. They want them mailed to everyone, whether people want them or not. That way they can send out their ballot harvesters. They are only interested in getting them into the drop boxes in critical voting districts where they can guarantee a win for the party.
There should never be unsolicited ballots sent out.
Not just that, remember when Joe Biden told Donald Trump during one of the debates for the 2020 election that he and his people had the greatest vote-rigging apparatus in American History and looky, there were extended deadlines with more mail-in ballots being accepted past deadlines, you name it, and Joe Biden was than installed like a cheap toilet from a big box store. in 2024 the margin was far too big for the left to rig that election, and now we’re enjoying what we voted for!
Greta will weigh in, of course… all about the leftism for those “climate” folk:
Bark! Bark! Bark! What a -itch!
Tell us how you really feel
I am totally against doing away with mail in ballots. For almost 14 years the wife and I were full time RVers and voted by mail at every election during that time. I agree that there needs to be some security added to the system, but not a total ban as that disenfranchises the elderly, deployed Service Members, and those unable to get to the election site. I fail to see how you cannot serialize the ballots and have a record of what serial number was sent to each voter out of a fixed number of ballots. Then each returned ballot serial number can be tabulated. That prevents ballot stuffing and fraudulent ballots.
My father did full time RV for about ten years after he retired for good. He also voted by mail.
The caution on serialization of ballots is the same as for guns. It lends itself to a tracking program for what is essentially a private civil right. I’m sure there is a way to do it safely and securely though.
I got no problem with firearm serialization.
It’s what the government does with that serialization
that scares me. Kinda like fingerprints and DNA.
I’d be happy to provide them with a semen sample though.
If you create a tracking system, people will use abuse it, no matter what reason it was laid down for. A good example is the military DNA database, which when built was promised forever to not be shared with law enforcement or anyone else, ever. It was for finding remains and that was it.
That lasted abut three years. Now everyone from the FBI down to Barney Fife has access and all around the world as well.
You might be thinking that it isn’t so bad. But when you gave that DNA sample, now anyone related to you by DNA is also in there as well due to moderate stringency searches. But access is protected right? Lets not forget International organizations, so if China for example, wanted to look for someone with a certain DNA for an alleged crime they just send up a request. No room for abuse there.
But don’t worry there are hardly any cases where the DNA FUBARed up on accident, on purpose and somebody went to prison by accident, on purpose right?
Certainly we can trust the FBI? They so seldom lie and do things for pure political reasons that you may as well say it doesn’t happen, but it does. Long story short, ALWAYS expect the worst case scenario to be the one the government will follow, if you let them.
Oh gawd!
But only if they extracted it themselves. Im not doing their work for them.
Doing in right.
