Republicans in key battleground states are stepping up efforts to encourage mail-in and early voting ahead of the 2026 midterms, aiming to boost turnout among their supporters even as President Donald Trump continues to press for eliminating most forms of mail balloting. Party strategists argue that embracing existing rules is essential to counter Democrats’ long-standing advantages in early voting.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 10 agreed to decide whether federal election-day statutes bar states from counting mail ballots received after Election Day if they were postmarked by that day, a dispute from Mississippi that could affect rules in more than a dozen states ahead of the 2026 midterms.
