At a high-stakes meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump took a question that shifted from war and peace to America’s election system and mail-in ballots.
“The ballots are corrupt. Mail-in ballots, you can never have a real democracy with mail-in ballots. 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,” Trump said.
“The other thing we want changed are the machines. For all of the money they spend, it’s approximately 10 times more expensive than paper ballots, and paper ballots are very sophisticated with the watermark paper and everything else,” he added.
Critics say the president is trying to undermine confidence in U.S. elections, even as courts, election officials and his own former DHS cybersecurity chief have repeatedly found no evidence of widespread fraud.
