US Postal Service Finalizes Rule Regarding Mail-In Ballots

“They’re going to have to get rid of mail-in voting,” he added.

Trump joined other conservatives in raising questions about the late-counted ballots in the Los Angeles mayoral primary, pointing to the large share of Democratic votes that went to Nithya Raman after election night.

The president characterized the delayed surge in support as suspicious and used it to reinforce his broader criticism of mail-in voting.

Trump’s executive order sought to impose additional safeguards intended to remove uncertainty over eligibility in federal elections.

Titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” the order directed federal agencies to develop citizenship-based information that could be used to verify voter eligibility.

It also instructed the U.S. Postal Service to restrict the distribution of mail-in ballots to voters appearing on approved eligibility lists, making citizenship verification a central component of the administration’s effort to tighten mail-voting procedures.
