Part of his plan includes signing an executive order that bars states from using mail ballots and potentially some voting machines. He said, without evidence, that voting machines are “highly inaccurate,” as well as more expensive and less reliable than counting paper ballots. That gap has only gotten wider in recent elections as GOP-led states have passed more restrictions on this method of voting. And then, states would have to likely pass new laws or implement new voting plans ahead of voting. “It would be a huge undertaking and I think realistically it’s highly unlikely that he could end voting by mail or end the use of very particular voting machines in time for 2026 now,” Germer said.
