Mail-in Voting Policy

March 26 – March 26, 2026

Where Things Stand

President Trump is pushing to restrict mail-in voting for the public while using a mail-in ballot himself for a Florida election, citing his busy White House schedule as an exception. This debate occurs as the Senate confirmed Markwayne Mullin to lead the Department of Homeland Security, which currently faces frozen funding and challenges with mass-deportation campaigns. The conflict highlights a deep divide over election security and the fairness of the President's proposed voting reforms.
