President Donald Trump clearly is an authoritarian whose aim is to destroy American democracy, with his latest ploy being to attack mail ballots in his push to prevent any possibility of the opposition Democrats gaining control of the House of Representatives and US Senate in the Midterm Elections of 2026 two months from now.
When one examines the states and the use of mail ballots, it is noticeable that the majority of states with high percentage of citizens voting by mail are “Blue” States, although not only such states.
Statistics show that the top ten states include primarily “Blue” states, including Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Colorado, Utah, California, Arizona, Vermont, District of Columbia, Nevada, and Michigan.
Only Utah is a reliably “Red” state, with Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan being “Battleground” states.
Notice also that most of the top ten states in mail voting are “Western” states.
The first five states have between 90 and 100 percent mail voting, with California and Arizona in the 80s; Vermont and DC in the 60s; with Nevada at 54 percent and Michigan at 37 percent. Florida and Nebraska follow at 35 percent, both “Red” states.
At the same time, Donald Trump and his family that votes in Florida always vote by mail ballot, so clearly, total hypocrisy.
The fact that the majority of the Supreme Court has been assisting Trump in his ploy to interfere with the elections is outrageous.
Also, the made up argument that massive numbers of noncitizens are voting has been shown to be totally without reality.
