President Donald Trump wants to stop mail-in voting and has vowed to lead a movement to get rid of it by the 2026 midterms.
Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says there’s no basis to Trump’s allegation of fraud or rigging when it comes to mail-in ballots.
"It’s bonkers," he said. "Mail-in balloting is secure and accurate and the preferred method for well over three-quarters of Arizona’s voters, not to mention the way that all voters in Washington and other states vote."

Trump has said his plan includes signing an executive order on mail-in voting.
Fontes says if Trump does that, he’d tell the president to “pound sand,” then work with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office to sue.
