Trump Mail Ballot Explanation Is About Privilege
President Donald Trump recently cast a mail-in ballot in a Florida special election, despite his frequent public criticism of the practice as “mail-in cheating.” Trump explained that he used a mail-in ballot because, as president, he was primarily in Washington D.C. and unavailable to vote in person. This occurred even as he continued to denounce mail-in voting, citing a need for exceptions such as being away from his residence.
