Trump calls for return to paper ballots, end of no-excuses mail-in voting

 Former President Donald Trump is offering a specific policy prescription for restoring Americans' confidence in elections

  • It is time for states to return to paper ballots and to end no-excuses absentee ballots so that results can be finalized on Election Day
  • The former president said the long delays—sometimes stretching days or a week or more—before many states finalize election results in close races has shaken America's confidence and created doubt in foreign countries.

Trump said he hasn't decided whether to run again for president in 2024 but noted he got 12 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016 and that he continues to get large crowds at his rallies two years after leaving the White House.

  • Asked if he could imagine his campaigning would extend into 2024, he answered: "I think it will."

The 45th president said his primary focus now is to help Republicans win control of Congress

  • He said he was growing increasingly confident about as Americans sour on rising crime, energy prices, and inflation
  • "The Republicans have a big advantage on crime," Trump said. "These people (Democrats) still want, and they still talk about defunding the police."
