On Thursday, President Donald Trump condemned reports that Utah might move to an all-mail voting system, warning the Republican-led state against adopting what he described as the same model used in states that “always head LEFT, as soon as the move is made.”

In an online post, Trump stated that Utah — a state he said he has won “each time, and handily” — appears to be moving toward the “All Mail In Ballot format of Colorado and the rest.” He urged Republicans to intervene, declaring, “We should stop Utah from doing this.”

Trump argued that “All Mail In Ballots, dishonestly handled, are a big advantage for the Democrats,” and claimed that Democrats’ “only Road to Victory, because their Policies are so insane, is CHEATING.”

The former president also warned Republicans that Democrats are advancing “Step by step, State by State,” adding, “the Democrats are smiling all the way to the ‘Bank.'”

Trump called on lawmakers to “Stop the onslaught” by either “immediately terminating the Filibuster” or passing “THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!”

Mail-in voting has remained a contentious issue among many Republicans since the 2020 election. Critics argue that voting by mail can increase risks of fraud, ballot harvesting, administrative errors, and delayed results while making it more difficult to verify voter identity than traditional in-person voting.
