US EditionTrump votes by mail in Florida special election despite push to limit practice
Trump voted by mail in a Florida special election while pushing the SAVE Act to limit mail voting, despite courts finding fraud in mail ballots is nearly nonexistent, Brookings Institution reported.
- On Tuesday, March 24, President Donald Trump cast a mail-in ballot in Florida's state House special election for District 87; Palm Beach County records confirm his ballot was received and counted.
- Trump's vote comes as he pushes the SAVE America Act, a federal bill he argues would curb mail-in voting. He called the method "corrupt as hell" last week at the White House.
- Trump has previously voted by mail, including in the 2020 presidential primary, despite his vocal opposition to the practice. Palm Beach County records confirm he used this method in the Mar-a-Lago district.
- White House spokesperson Olivia Wales dismissed the vote as a "non-story," citing exceptions for travel. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Trump a "complete fraud" for the contradiction.
- The Supreme Court is reviewing whether states can count late-arriving mail ballots, a decision that could reshape voting rules nationwide. The SAVE Act faces steep odds in the Senate, lacking the 60 votes needed to advance.
