Trump Votes by Mail in Florida Amid Ongoing Criticism of Mail-In Voting Practices
March 24, 2026
Donald Trump voted by mail in a Florida special election, a move that comes as he continues to criticize mail-in voting as fraudulent and urges Congress to curb the practice.
The SAVE Act faces tough odds in the closely divided Senate, with national security and other priorities competing for attention in Congress.
The White House says the SAVE America Act would prohibit universal mail-in voting and restrict mail voting to exceptions such as illness, disability, military service, or travel.
The report notes related coverage from the Washington Post and the New York Times to provide context for the story.
Cheating.
Trump is registered in Palm Beach and resides primarily at the White House, a discrepancy the White House did not address when pressed.
Context is provided on how mail ballots are verified, differences across states, and recent partisan shifts in state legislatures.
Public records show the ballot was received and counted in Palm Beach County, though delivery method details are not disclosed.
A White House spokesperson said the voter ID bill would include commonsense exceptions for illness, disability, military, or travel, and emphasized this is not a story about him casting a ballot in Florida.
The spokesperson noted exceptions for illness, disability, military, or travel but did not specify which applied to Trump’s case.
A Brookings Institution 2025 report is cited, indicating mail voting fraud occurs in about 0.000043% of ballots, roughly four cases per ten million.
The piece places the event in the broader political context of Trump’s State of the Union remarks and his endorsements in Florida.
