Trump Casts Florida Mail Ballot After Calling Mail Voting ‘Cheating’

The episode spotlights his push for the SAVE America Act to restrict no‑excuse mail voting.

Overview

  • Palm Beach County records, updated Tuesday, show the president requested a mail ballot on March 14, it was logged received March 15, and his vote was counted in the special election.
  • Following Monday’s Memphis roundtable, he repeated that “mail‑in voting means mail‑in cheating” and urged action to curb the practice.
  • The White House called the coverage a non‑story and said his plan allows mail ballots only for illness, disability, military service, or travel.
  • The SAVE America Act would require voters to include a copy of a photo ID with mail ballots and would limit eligibility to specific excuses, and the bill lacks the votes to pass the Senate under current rules.
  • The Supreme Court heard arguments Monday on whether states can count mail ballots that arrive after Election Day, even as experts note documented cases of mail‑ballot fraud are rare.
