President Donald Trump has revealed that he used a mail-in ballot for the special election for House District 87 in Florida, which includes his Mar-a-Lago residence, despite previous criticism of mail-based voting. Speaking to the press at a Cabinet meeting in Washington, D.C. He explained that he was away from work and had several other commitments that required him to vote via mail. Despite previous criticism, the president has also cast a mail ballot in the Florida presidential primary and New York elections in 2018. The White House has defended these actions, stating that the president's voting choices align with his push for new federal voting rules, including the SAVE America Act, which would require citizens to present a valid form of identification before registering to vote in a federal election.
