Trump Targets Mail-In Voting and States' Rights Ahead of 2026 Elections

Trump is criticizing mail-in voting, claiming it leads to fraud, despite evidence that expanded mail voting does not favor any party and is generally secure. His rhetoric may undermine voter confidence and affect Republican gains, even though he lacks the authority to eliminate mail voting, which is governed by state laws. GOP figures acknowledge the mixed messages but remain confident in voters' intelligence.
