"I'm president of the United States, and because of the fact that I'm president of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot for elections that took place in Florida, because I felt I should be here," Trump told PBS News' Liz Landers during a Cabinet meeting. "I decided that I was going to vote by mail-in ballot because I couldn't be there because I had a lot of different things," Trump added. "But, you know, we have exceptions for mail-in ballots." Voting records show that Trump cast a mail-in ballot in Tuesday's special election in Palm Beach County, Florida. The president was in Palm Beach, where he is registered to vote, between March 20 and March 22, when in-person early voting was available. Trump has long criticized mail-in voting and is currently pushing for legislation that would overhaul elections, including by limiting who can cast mail ballots. “Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating,” he said Monday during an event in Memphis. “I call it mail-in cheating, and we got to do something about it all.” Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
