Did former President Jimmy Carter truly oppose mail-in voting, as the current Trump administration claims? Shockingly, President Donald Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt are using a 20-year-old report to falsely assert Carter was against mail-in and absentee ballots, citing fraud concerns. They allege Carter deemed these ballots “inherently dishonest” and the “largest source of potential voter fraud.” However, this is a gross misrepresentation of both the 2005 report and Carter’s actual unwavering support for mail-in voting. Carter, in fact, publicly endorsed expanding vote-by-mail in 2020 and used it himself for years, a stance confirmed by his family and The Carter Center. The bipartisan report, which Carter co-chaired, acknowledged potential fraud risks but crucially recommended ways to *reduce* them, not eliminate mail-in voting altogether. Experts, including those from nonpartisan groups, consistently state there is no evidence of rampant mail-in voting fraud, either then or now, thanks to improved safeguards. Despite this, the Trump administration persists in its misleading narrative, even though President Trump himself has voted by mail in Florida. This selective quoting and historical revisionism dangerously undermines public confidence in elections.
