"Ticktin's draft order would require all voters in 2026 to re-register with proof of citizenship, end the use of vote-tabulation machinery and compel hand-counting of all ballots, require that counting for all races be finished on election day by midnight, ban mail-in ballots, and make other changes."
"An emergency executive order should prioritize hand-counting of ballots in public, first and foremost, Ticktin said. He predicted with no evidence: If we don't have hand-counting of ballots, this election will be stolen."
Peter Ticktin, an 80-year-old lawyer with ties to Donald Trump, is advocating for an emergency executive order to change US voting rules. His proposed order would require re-registration with proof of citizenship, eliminate vote-tabulation machinery, mandate hand-counting of ballots, and ban mail-in voting. Ticktin claims foreign interference in the 2020 election justifies these changes. He has communicated with Trump about the need for such an order, which election experts view as part of a concerning trend among election conspiracists aiming to influence upcoming elections.
