Former President Donald Trump is set to fulfill his civic duty as a private citizen and vote in the town of Palm Beach’s municipal election.
Despite his false claims about mail voting during the 2020 election cycle, Trump requested a mail ballot on Friday for the third time in his Palm Beach County voter history.
The request was made nearly a week after the deadline to have a ballot be sent by mail. Mail ballots can be requested through Tuesday but must be picked up in person by the voter or a designee.
It is likely that Trump had an associate pick up the ballot in person on his behalf, as he did for the presidential primary last March and for the August primary.
Trump’s ballot had not been recorded as counted as of noon Monday. Former first lady Melania Trump had not requested a mail ballot. She had opted to vote on Election Day in November at the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach.
Casting a ballot by mail remains popular as the coronavirus pandemic hits the one-year mark. Palm Beach County elections chief Wendy Sartory Link said that as of Friday, her office issued 126,136 mail ballots, more than one-third of the 349,099 residents who are eligible to vote in the municipal elections.
While running for reelection last year, Trump blasted universal vote-by-mail, where elections offices automatically mail ballots to registered voters.
He also requested it sent to Mar-a-Lago, which is a private club, not a residence. Asking for a mail in ballot to be sent to a location that's not zoned as a residence. That sounds like voter fraud to me.
OMG... you guys are like neanderthals when it comes to understanding the difference between "normal" mail in ballots, which have existed for decades, versus the nonsense the Dems pulled in 2020.
And of course you express yourself in "normal" TDS fashion.

Here is a quick and dirty map of the changes made in the states in voting rules in the run up to the 2020 elections.
The question is why did republicans in those states allow the changes when in many of them they controlled the governorship and the legislature?

Why don’t you explain how Trump’s mail in ballot is any safer than other mail in ballots to us.
I don't care who did what. Many states changed their mail in vote rules - which is my point. The OP is making it seem as though Trump is using the system he complained about - which is untrue. The OP knows what he is doing... typical misrepresentation for someone suffering from TDS.
