Georgia Mail Voting Concerns and US Trade with Russia
What happened
Concerns over mail-in voting have led more Democratic voters to choose in-person or drop box voting ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections. Mail ballot requests have declined by 40% in Georgia compared to the previous midterm election, according to reports from a University of Florida professor. This shift follows efforts by Donald Trump to restrict mail voting in Georgia.

Why it matters
The decline in mail voting reflects both long-term trends and political efforts to restrict voting methods in Georgia. Separately, reports indicate that Vladimir Putin is moving closer to restoring certain interests, while the US continues to purchase Russian diesel.
