Trump's rules for mail-in voting threaten to unleash chaos in November

Público5 September 2026 at 19:30

Two months away from the midterm elections of November 3rd, President Donald Trump is trying to implement a March executive order regarding mail-in voting. This initiative has the support of the US Postal Service, which has generated concern among Democrats and election experts.

The measure threatens to unleash chaos in the November electoral process, with millions of mail-in votes potentially at risk. Critics argue that the new rules may significantly delay the vote count and discourage electoral participation.

The executive order aims to implement new regulations for mail-in voting, a method that is expected to be widely used in these elections due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The process is unfolding in a context of strong political division over the security and reliability of this type of voting.
