The vote of the letter, also known as correspondence, is used in many countries around the world, including Europe, despite the fact that the President of the United States Donald Trump recently stated that this is a system that is only in America.
Trump wrote in his social network “Truth in Social” that the United States is now “The only country in the world using the letter voting”promising to cancel the voting method until 2026 intermediate elections in the United States.
“Everyone else left her out of the huge deception of voters who are taking place,” wroteField
In an interview with Fox News at the beginning of this month, Trump also stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin told him that the presidential election in 2020 in the United States was “created” from the letter.
The theories of the conspiracy that the presidential elections in 2020 were in favor of the Democrats from the vote of vote repeatedly denied.
The vote of the letter increased significantly during these elections due to the pandemic Covid-19, with a letter or remote voting, is 43% of all votes.
The system is used around the world
Trump’s statement that the United States is the only country using this voting method is also false.
In October 2024, he published the International Institute of Democracy and the electoral process data Which showed that at least 32 countries or territories around the world allow you to receive a letter to their country.
These include seven European countries that allow voting letters in the country for certain categories of voters and eight others, which allow all voters to vote by mail.
All voters can choose voting by EU member states in Germany, Greece, Luxembourg and Poland, as well as in the European countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Great Britain.
Many other countries allow citizens abroad.
The disinformation that Trump is moving seems to be part of the campaign for the complete cancellation of the letter ballots next year.
The US President has repeatedly claimed that the voting method was “corrupt” and “Fars”.
But experts do not agree. Analysts in the Center for Justice Brennan say that there is a “abundant experience showing that the choice of inscription is safe and allows citizens to participate.”
Meanwhile, an expert at the University of Chicago says that although “we should not be self -fraud or integrity” of elections, the risk of extensive fraud “probably very few, even with the elections that voted exclusively”.
