Trump Must Not Be Allowed to Prevent Millions of Americans from Voting The Trump administration is trying to use the United States Postal Service to decide who gets to vote in this year's election. Unacceptable. We will not accept Trump’s authoritarianism. Last month, the Postal Service announced it would only deliver mail-in ballots to voters on a list of "approved" individuals — meaning Donald Trump and his administration, not the states, determine who qualifies to vote. That is not only unacceptable. It is blatantly unconstitutional. The Founders were explicit in the Constitution: States run elections, not the federal government. They did this precisely so that no authoritarian in Washington could ever seize that power for himself. Trump is trying to seize it anyway — in a blatant attempt to rig the election in his favor. Let's be clear: Trump knows this has nothing to do with the safety of mail-in ballots, because he himself has voted by mail in Florida twice this year. He knows mail-in voting is safe and secure. Study after study, including from conservative institutions and Republican-led states, confirms that voter fraud in this country is virtually nonexistent: 1. The Heritage Foundation found just 77 cases of noncitizen voting nationwide between 1999 and 2023 out of billions of votes cast. 2. Utah reviewed 2.1 million registered voters in 2025 and 2026 and found one confirmed noncitizen registered — who never cast a ballot. 3. Idaho reviewed roughly 1 million voters in 2024 and found 36 possible noncitizen registrations. 4. Georgia audited 8.2 million registered voters in 2024 and found 20 noncitizen registrations. Voter fraud is not the problem. Trump's problem is that his agenda is deeply unpopular. He has waged illegal wars the American people did not ask for. He is throwing 15 million Americans off the healthcare they have and has made the largest cuts to education and nutrition assistance in history in order to pay for $1 trillion in tax breaks to the top 1% and his billionaire friends. He knows that when people vote, they will reject oligarchy and corporate greed. So instead of changing his policies, he is trying to decide which voters get to participate in elections this November. Too many Americans have fought and died to defend American democracy. We must stop Trump’s authoritarian power grab — before it is too late.
