President Donald Trump, who is in the midst of pressuring senators to curb the use of mail-in voting, voted by mail ballot in Tuesday’s special election in Palm Beach County, Fla.
The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections website indicates that Trump, who is registered to vote at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Palm Beach, “voted by Mail Ballot” in a special election between Democrat Emily Gregory and Republican Jon Maples for a seat in the state legislature. A spokesperson for the office confirmed to The Washington Post that the “information [on the site] is accurate.”
Trump’s decision to vote by mail comes as he pushes the Save America Act — a sweeping bill to reform nationwide balloting, including restrictions on mail-in voting — and derides vote-by-mail at events.
The president has long criticized mail-in voting, despite studies showing that about 1 in 3 Americans voted by mail in 2024. Much of Trump’s antipathy for vote-by-mail stems from his 2020 loss, when he felt overly permissive election laws allowed many Americans to vote by mail without a specific reason.
“Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating,” Trump said Monday during a law enforcement task force meeting in Memphis. “I call it mail-in cheating, and we’ve got to do something about it all.”
Trump did not have to vote by mail. He was in Palm Beach over the weekend, and early in-person voting was available through Sunday.
“ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING,” he wrote. This is not the first time Trump has voted by mail while deriding the practice. “I can vote by mail,” he told reporters in 2020 when pushed on how he reconciles his use of a practice he criticizes. “I’m allowed to.”

What a load of shite.
The President doesn’t want to abolish mail-in voting.
He wants to abolish all mail-in/any excuse mail-in.
As President Trump has said. No mail in ballots except for specific situations such as illness or travel. Again the left are disingenuous, ignoring facts to pursue a false political narrative.
I don’t want the US Pres wasting time in a voting line.
Those not able to vote in person should be able to vote by mail as long as they go through the process of proving qualification to vote before receiving a ballot. The author is a) an idiot; b) a TDS sufferer, or c) all of the above.
The Fentanyl Times.
The press is once again just flat out lying - same thing they did during COVID when the Trump family requested absentee ballots.
An absentee ballot *requested* by the voter is not “mail in balloting” - sending out mass mailings of countless millions of ballots not requested, floating out there, zero chain of custody, and all of the other issues that arise with that have been discussed ad nauseum.
Outrageous lying on the part of this media source and those who wrote it.
***Trump did not have to vote by mail. He was in Palm Beach over the weekend, and early in-person voting was available through Sunday.***
I wonder if there was good security at the polling places and would the other citizens have been interested in waiting until he was finished?
These people have such TDS they can’t possibly think straight. Terrible idiots.
Not to mention, there are legitimate reasons to have an absentee ballot. Being President would qualify. Other politicians who vote in person, do it only for photo ops. Trump doesn’t need that.
He requested an absentee ballot. That isn’t the way mail in ballots work.
Idiots. An “Absentee Ballot” is nowhere near the same as Vote By Mail. The only similarity is your absentee ballot IS delivered by US mail. In the old days, you had to request an absentee ballot and actually give some proof you were not going to be able to get to the polling place.
The Seattle Times knows this (I HOPE they know it) and are being intentionally obtuse.
Absentee voting is different than mail-in voting. The Seattle Times lies!
Bingo
And if he hopped a plane at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars to the taxpayer just to vote TV they’d go batshiite
Suddenly the dems will vote to halt it!
Trump trolls again.
