President Trump says he’ll ban mail-in ballots and some voting machines before the 2026 midterms, calling them tools of “massive voter fraud,” according to Capital Tonight. No evidence supports that claim.
The League of Women Voters called the move a direct threat to voting rights. MaryKate Owens, who leads the Albany County chapter, said mail-in voting expands access and eliminating it would silence millions.
New York expanded vote-by-mail during the pandemic, and advocates say rolling it back now would undermine election trust and participation.
