Trump promised Monday to work to end mail-in voting and said work is already underway on an executive order to ban it before the 2026 midterm elections, although the Constitution does not give him this power.

“We, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots,” he said during an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “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.”

    The easy solution is just to make a polling place at the house of every bed-bound person.

    Sorry, that’s a joke. If you want a serious answer, then I don’t think any court would allow them to take absentee ballots from bed-bound people.

      in our blue area, some residents are allowed to be official polling stations. in red state they pratically banned it, this is convenient for old people, and people cant travel far.
