Trump Attacks On Mail Voting Sow Confusion

September 6, 2026 · 5:38 am ET · Leave a Comment

“President Trump’s legal and rhetorical assault on voting by mail — and the flurry of contradictory court decisions around it — has left voters confused and local officials scrambling just eight weeks before November’s critical midterm elections,” the New York Times reports.

“The contortions have county registrars dusting off Election Day contingency plans developed for natural disasters like floods and wildfires. They have struggled to make it through planning meetings before the latest version of the rules change, and many are encouraging voters to avoid the U.S. Postal Service all together.”

“Among voters, confusion abounds.”
