Mail-in ballots are back in the news, as Politico is reporting a major rift between President Trump and his party on the issue.
Are Republicans in Congress are ignoring President Trump’s calls for election reforms?
“Why would you want mail-in ballots if you know it’s corrupt?” Trump said. “It’s a corrupt system.”
The article quotes several Republicans suggesting the President’s position goes too far.
“I support the use of mail-in voting,” said Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY). “The idea that some states just mail out ballots without any requests is absurd, but the use of mail-in balloting, I do not have an objection.”
“We have to be very cautious about mail-in-ballot voting,” Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) said. “But I think that if we get the registration process correct, then that’ll fix a lot of this.”
“In Florida, we treat ballots like they’re evidence in a trial,” Rep Byron Donalds (R-FL) said. “Other states need to follow that. … I think that’s what the White House is referencing. You just can’t have ballots out there in the ether.”
“If you’re sick and you can’t get to the polling [place], he wants you to have a ballot. If you’re a military member, he wants you to have a ballot,” Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) said of [President Trump]. “Who he doesn’t want to have a ballot is the illegal alien that registered or even a lawful alien who got a driver’s license to be registered to vote and get a mail-in ballot.”
Election-related legislative reforms are passing the House, but are expected to stall in the Senate.
Eliminating ubiquitous mail-in balloting — which gained popularity during COVID because of convenience and propaganda despite, according to “the experts,” being entirely insecure — are expected to be one of President Trump’s most controversial reforms.
