Trump Votes by Mail in Florida as He Pushes to Curb Mail Voting

The move spotlights his drive for the SAVE America Act, which would narrow who can vote by mail.

Overview

  • Palm Beach County records, cited Tuesday by multiple outlets, show he requested a ballot on March 14, it was received March 15, and it was counted in the Florida House District 87 special election.
  • He labeled mail voting “mail-in cheating” during Monday remarks in Memphis, even though early in-person voting ran through Sunday while he was in Palm Beach.
  • 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 add voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship rules and restrict no‑excuse mail voting, and it faces long odds in the closely divided Senate.
  • The Supreme Court heard a case Monday on counting late-arriving mail ballots, a ruling that could tighten deadlines in states with grace periods even as courts have found little evidence of widespread mail fraud.
