Republicans say the current system lacks uniform standards and has created serious vulnerabilities, while critics argue the new restrictions threaten access for millions, especially the elderly, military voters, and Americans abroad. We trace the history from Civil War soldiers voting by mail to today’s heated debate and what it means for 2026.
