President Trump on Tuesday hailed Dallas County, Texas, for moving to paper ballots, as he ramps up his push to get rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines across the country.
“Great news! Dallas County, Texas just went to all paper ballots. Many others are following suit. More accurate, totally secure with watermark paper, Faster and only 9% of the cost. All Republican governors should mandatorily do this. Save money and freedom. Lead the Democrats out of the corrupt ways,” Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social.
In September, the Dallas County Republican Party decided it would hand-count all Election Day ballots in its upcoming primary. However, the policy only applies to the Republican primary and only on Election Day. It does not change countywide procedures for the Democratic primary, early voting locations or the general election.
Dallas County is one of the largest voting jurisdictions in Texas. Republicans in other Texas counties, including Hays, Eastland and Gillespie counties, have approved plans to hand-count primary ballots, according to the Texas Tribune.
Mr. Trump has long railed against public mail-in ballots and voting machines. In March, he signed an executive order that largely bans voting equipment that uses bar codes or QR codes on paper ballots to speed up vote counting.
He also directed the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, which develops the guidelines states rely on for their voting equipment, to prohibit such systems and “take appropriate action” to review and rescind previously issued certifications based on prior standards.
The president has complained without evidence that voting machines are “highly inaccurate” and more expensive than watermarked paper ballots.
