Supreme Court rules against Trump admin in mail-in ballot case

Mail-in ballots are corrupt. Mail-in ballots, you can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots

Every state in the U.S. has some sort of mail-in voting for federal elections

Some politicians and leaders, including President Trump, have shared concerns and claims that mail-in ballots lead to voter fraud

But advocates say they're essential to ensure every voice is heard. Without mail-in ballots, it is the most vulnerable folks in our community who aren't able to drive to the polling location that still have a constitutional right to vote and should have voting accessible to them just as any other voter who has different privileges and is able to cast a ballot in person

According to the Census Bureau, in the 2024 election, Americans cast more than 154 million ballots

29% of those came through the mail. More than 36 of voters 65 and older used mail ballots that year Nearly half of Asian voters cast ballots by mail followed by Hispanic and white voters People with bachelor degrees or higher were more likely to vote by mail as were families in the highest income bracket tracked

In general, mail ballots are important to protecting people's constitutional right to

vote and to equitably access that right. That includes people living with disabilities, who historically have slightly lower voter

turnouts than those without. In 2024, of the nearly 33 million voting-aged citizens living with disabilities, 61% said they voted in the general election

though the census didn't report whether that was in person or by mail. Looking at previous elections, however, we know that those living with disabilities are far more likely to vote by mail than those without

according to ysis by the Election Assistance Commission and Rutgers University. For voters living with disabilities who voted in person, one in five reported having difficulty doing so

There are many reasons someone may choose to vote by mail from disabilities to convenience to even living abroad That protected under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act It applies to members of the military their families and U citizens living abroad

Speaking of laws, there are quite a few that cover mail-in ballots and states' rights to run

federal elections as they see fit. That's actually in the Constitution, Article 1, Section 4

aka the Elections Clause. This is why the rules for how you can vote differ from state to state

State officials decide who can vote via mail or absentee. They set deadlines and what, if anything, voters need to submit before heading to the mailbox

But one thing they all have in common is systems to prevent voter fraud

And we as a Republican Party are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots

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

Because they're corrupt, massive fraud all over the place. So let's talk about fraud

We're going to compare two sets of data, the Heritage Foundation election fraud map and the American Presidency Project documentation of the number of ballots cast in presidential elections The Heritage Foundation used media coverage to identify 1 cases of voter fraud and misconduct since 1982

most resulting in criminal convictions. According to the American Presidency Project's numbers

voters have cast more than 1.3 billion ballots in all presidential elections since 1984

Okay, so the Heritage Foundation goes back to 82 and includes midterms, while the Presidency

Project goes back to 84 and is only the generals. Yes, that is not an exact comparison

But if we take the 1600 documented cases of voter fraud and misconduct, and compare that

to the 1.3 billion votes we know have been cast, and it would be much more with midterms

That's a tiny fraction of a percent of ballots cast that may have been fraudulent
