Mail-in voting myths under the microscope: a CNN fact-check

CNN debunks Trump’s recent claims about mail-in voting: several countries use mail ballots, not just the U.S.; the Jimmy Carter commission did not call for an outright ban on mail-in voting; mail-in voting is not inherently corrupt and fraud is exceedingly rare; states like Utah and California demonstrate robust safeguards, including signature verification and voter eligibility checks; Trump’s assertion that California sends out about 38 million ballots is false ( California has roughly 22–23 million active voters); there is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, despite increased mail voting; overall, the article argues for strengthening safeguards rather than banning mail-in voting.

Broad backing for voter ID persists as fraud views split by party, CBS poll shows

CBS News/YouGov poll of 2,500 adults taken March 16-19, 2026, finds broad cross‑party support for photo ID to vote and for proving citizenship to register, though Democrats fear citizenship verification could bar eligible voters; Republicans are more likely to say there is widespread fraud—especially in urban/Democratic areas—but the view isn’t held by a majority; views on mail voting are mixed; most Americans prefer state or local control of elections and largely trust their own vote to be counted.
