President Donald Trump's wife and youngest son have now also been caught voting by mail in Florida despite the president's ongoing campaign to ban vote-by-mail, the Daily Beast reported.
“Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating, and we've got to do something about it all,” Trump said on Monday while participating in his crime task force roundtable.
It was after Trump and his family submitted their mail-in ballots, records show.
There was a special election in Florida's House District 87 on Tuesday, where a Democrat won in a huge upset. Trump previously won the district with 11 points above Vice President Kamala Harris. Winner Emily Gregory scored two points above Trump's 2024 percentage.
Her new district covers Trump's Mar-a-Lago country club. Trump had endorsed the Republican, and he significantly outspent Gregory, CBS12 reported.
Trump has been pushing the SAVE Act, a measure that would "prohibit universal mail voting, requiring all mail voters to submit an application in order to receive a mail ballot. This would end the longstanding principal method of voting in eight states and Washington, DC," the Brennan Center explained.
Trump's voting bill would also require Americans to bring some kind of proof of citizenship to register to vote. As it stands, most Americans can use their driver's license when registering to vote. But 45 states, 16 territories, and Washington, D.C. don't indicate citizenship on the driver's license. So, Americans would be required to bring either a passport or a birth certificate along with their driver's license to register to vote.
It's unknown whether every American would be required to re-register to vote.
NPR news reported that Trump has cast mail-in ballots throughout his time in the White House, dating back to 2020.
In August, Trump wrote on Truth Social he would “lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS,” claiming the U.S. was “the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting” and that “ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING.”
