This week, President Trump announced that he is working on an executive action to end mail-in balloting before the 2026 midterm elections.

While Mr. Trump may try to halt voting by mail, Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon says he would fight those efforts in court.

Trump has claimed mail-in ballots are corrupt and susceptible to voter fraud . Simon says Trump's claims are untrue.

"There is no evidence whatsoever that it's anything other than very secure," said Simon.

In 2024, 1.2 million Minnesotans used mail-in ballots to vote, but it has a deep-rooted history in elections.

"This started in the Civil War, believe it or not, where Union soldiers from Minnesota were able to use absentee ballots in Minnesota by mail to get their votes cast in elections," said Simon.
