President Donald Trump cast a mail-in ballot in a Florida special election this past Tuesday, even as he actively campaigns against the practice and pushes for laws to restrict it. This is not new; he has quietly been casting mail-in ballots in every election since at least 2020, while publicly calling it a threat to honest elections. The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections website confirms his mail-in vote, and an elections office spokesperson verified the information.
According to The Daily Beast, Trump is registered to vote at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and submitted his ballot for a state legislature special election. He spent the two previous weekends at Mar-a-Lago, and early in-person voting was available right up until Sunday. He could have voted in person, but chose not to.
