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.
