Rep. Wilson Condemns Trump Executive Order Restricting Mail-In Voting

MIAMI GARDENS, FL — Today, Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24) released the following statement in response to President Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in voting.

“This executive order is a blatant attack on the right to vote and a dangerous abuse of power.

“No president has the authority to decide who gets to participate in our elections. Creating a federal ‘approved voter list’ and restricting mail-in ballots is not about integrity. It is about control.

“That is voter suppression, plain and simple.

“Mail-in voting helps millions of Americans make their voices heard, especially seniors, working families, and people who need accessible options. Now, those voters are being targeted.

“Threatening states and intimidating election officials only undermines our democracy.

“I will not accept any effort to limit access to the ballot box. The American people deserve free, fair, and accessible elections. Our democracy depends on it.”
