"[It's] the biggest thing we can do - it's bigger even than the reapportionment. It's bigger than anything we can do as a party. Our elections are extremely corrupt. The mail-in ballots, the system is so corrupt. You know, Colorado went to it. You don't even go to a state that does it, because when they go mail-in, the Democrats - the only way they're going to win is mail-in ballots. That's the only way. I say we'd pick up a hundred seats if you had real elections, meaning you go to the voters," he told Todd Starnes. _ Donald Trump - who couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a jab at California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom - even went so far as to claim that California would go red if the state did away with mail-in ballots. "I think I would have won California. I think I'd win California right now over that terrible governor," he said. "I mean, he is such a pathetic guy, one of the worst. But the mail-in ballots and the mail-in voting and then you put them together with the machines and you have to - that's why I said make it too big to rig." _ Donald Trump has continuously ranted about mail-in ballots and why he thinks they're corrupt. "I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS and also, while we're at it, highly 'inaccurate,' very expensive and seriously controversial VOTING MACHINES, which cost ten times more than accurate and sophisticated watermark paper, which is faster and leaves NO DOUBT, at the end of the evening, as to who WON and who LOST, the election," he wrote on Truth Social. "We are now the only country in the world that uses mail-in voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED. WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 midterm elections. Remember, the states are merely an 'agent' for the federal government in counting and tabulating the votes. ... They must do what the federal government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do. With their HORRIBLE radical left policies, like open borders, men playing in women's sports, transgender and 'WOKE' for everyone and so much more, Democrats are virtually unelectable without using this completely disproven mail-In SCAM."
