MAIL-BALLOT RULES FROZEN AGAIN — Supreme Court Showdown Looms

Without free and fair elections, the nation is finished. Nothing else matters. And mail in ballots are rife with fraud.

Most countries in the world do not allow domestic, in-country mail-in voting, including the vast majority of nations across Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.

It is shocking that America, the first nation in human history founded on the sacred principle of individual rights would so recklessly undermine the integrity and power of every individual vote.

Total Ban on Domestic Mail-In Voting:

These nations require all domestic residents to vote in person at a polling station, completely banning mail-in or absentee ballots within their borders. Many do, however, allow their citizens living abroad to mail ballots to embassies.

France: Explicitly banned domestic mail-in voting in 1975 following a series of massive voter fraud scandals in Corsica involving stolen ballots and dead voters. Residents must vote in person or appoint a proxy.

Mexico: Strictly prohibited domestic mail-in voting in 1992 as part of sweeping electoral reforms designed to combat historic institutional fraud. Only citizens permanently residing abroad may use postal ballots.

Belgium: Voting is compulsory, and domestic mail-in voting is entirely illegal. Citizens must go to the polls in person or legally designate a proxy voter.

Italy and Sweden: Both nations require standard domestic residents to vote in person. While they offer postal options for citizens living overseas, they do not offer a mail-in system for residents living inside the country.

Strict “Excuse-Only” Proxies: Some countries like Denmark legally restrict postal ballots to individuals who are physically incapacitated, hospitalized, or completely unable to visit a polling station.

Medical Certification Requirements:

Nations like Japan and Poland require voters to present official, government-verified disability or medical certificates to qualify for a mail-in ballot.

Second federal judge freezes Trump mail ballot order with US Supreme Court poised to weigh in

By Associated Press, Sep. 14, 2026:

A federal judge late Sunday ordered that the US Postal Service not implement President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting mail balloting, adding another obstacle to the administration’s effort to rewrite election rules as the Supreme Court is poised to weigh in on the matter.

The nation’s highest court already is considering the administration’s appeal of an order by US District Court Judge Indira Talwani in Boston prohibiting the Postal Service from enforcing its new rule on mail voting before this year’s midterm elections.

Late Sunday, US District Judge Carl J. Nichols in Washington, DC, handed down a similar hold on the rule, which was issued Aug. 21.

“Plaintiffs have demonstrated that, absent an injunction, there is an increased risk that a significant number of otherwise appropriate absentee or mail-in ballots will ultimately not be counted in the upcoming elections,” Nichols wrote in issuing the preliminary injunction. “The public has a strong interest in ensuring that doesn’t happen.”

Nichols in May had refused to issue an injunction because he ruled the lawsuit seeking one was brought too early. That was the high court’s reasoning late last month when it lifted an earlier freeze by Talwani. But because the administration had just issued its rule to move ahead with Trump’s plan, the plaintiffs in Boston and Washington, DC, refiled their lawsuits.

Talwani was nominated by former President Barack Obama and Nichols was nominated by Trump.

The new Postal Service regulations stem from an executive order Trump issued earlier this year. Election officials say it would be impossible to implement the changes this close to a general election.

The regulations would require all ballot envelope designs to be pre-approved by the Postal Service and that states upload the identities of those who are to receive them into a still-inactive online portal.
