On Sunday, The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article about President Trump’s plan to restore confidence in America’s elections. States have authority over how to hold their elections, but they are required to comply with federal prohibitions.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump said on Aug. 30 that he has decided to issue an executive order to request that federal elections require the presentation of voter ID in order to cast a ballot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cVoter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. No exceptions!\u201d Trump wrote on a post on Truth Social. \u201cI Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n

The president did not give a timeline for his order. The midterm elections will be held on Nov. 3, 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The president also repeated his opposition to the widespread adoption of mail-in ballots and the use of electronic voting systems, although this time he didn\u2019t say they would be the subject of any executive action.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. Use paper ballots only!!!\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Trump had pledged to issue an executive order ahead of the 2026 midterm elections to end the use of mail-in ballots and return to the use of paper ballots instead of voting machines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It would be possible to count paper ballots by counting ballots in individual precincts. It would be tedious, but it would be accurate.<\/p>\n

In 2005, former President Jimmy Carter created the Commission on Federal Election Reform. The Commission made 87 recommendations that would improve election integrity. The Commission noted that one of the places most vulnerable to election fraud was mail-in ballots.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
