Trump casts mail ballot again in Florida despite efforts to restrict mail voting
The White House said Trump has not been to Florida in months.
President Donald Trump voted by mail in Florida's primary election, marking his second instance of voting through the mail in the state this year. Despite his frequent criticism of mail-in voting, the White House acknowledged Trump's decision, stating that the SAVE America Act has specific exceptions for individuals using mail-in ballots due to illness, disability, military service, or travel.
However, the White House maintains that universal mail-in voting should not be permitted, citing the high susceptibility to fraud. The act also mandates voter ID at the polling station and proof of citizenship for the registration process. Voting records show that Trump requested a ballot in late July and returned it on August 13.
The Palm Beach County supervisor of elections declined to release Trump's voter information, which remains private. Trump's use of a mail-in ballot in this primary election continues his campaign to pass the SAVE America Act, which would impose new restrictions on mail-in voting. The president has been vocal about his opposition to mail-in voting, describing it as "crooked as hell" and demanding swift action from Congress to pass the act.
The Brookings Institution's analysis from November 2025 found that voter fraud in mail-in voting is rare, contradicting Trump's claims.
