Definition: Mailgate was a controversy involving President Donald Trump's administration regarding mail-in ballots in federal elections. It led to widespread criticism, including by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), who called for an investigation into potential fraud. The issue arose after Republican candidates challenged the results of mail-in votes in some states due to concerns about voter fraud or misconduct. In 2021, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Trump's administration, overturning a key legal decision from the U.S. Supreme Court that had upheld the results of the election. Mailgate highlights the importance of electoral integrity and the need for independent oversight and redistricting to prevent such issues from happening again.
