“Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating, and we got to do something about it all,” Trump said Monday.
Public records indicate his mail ballot was received and counted by election officials in Palm Beach County, where he is registered to vote, though the records don’t detail how it was delivered to election officials.
It’s a familiar refrain — and action — from Trump, who has often criticized mail voting as rife with fraud. He has used such rhetoric to push a massive elections overhaul bill in Congress called the SAVE America Act.
Trump was in Palm Beach over the weekend; early voting ran through Sunday.
This isn’t the first time Trump has voted by mail while condemning the method: He did so in 2020, too.
At that time, NBC News asked Trump how he reconciled his criticism of mail-in voting with the fact that he voted by mail.
“You know why I voted? Because I happened to be in the White House and I won’t be able to go to Florida and vote,” he said.
“There’s a big difference between somebody who is out of state and does a ballot and everything is sealed and certified and everything else,” he said then, before he claimed without evidence that thousands and thousands of people were signing ballots fraudulently in their living rooms. “I think mail-in voting is a terrible thing. I think if you vote, you should go.”
NPR reported at the time that his ballot was hand-delivered by a third party.
Trump blamed the expansion of mail-in voting during the pandemic in 2020 for his loss in his second presidential bid, though there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in American elections. Since then, mail has been at the center of Trump’s repeated false claims about election security.
In his State of the Union address this year, Trump called for “no more crooked mail-in ballots” and said, “Cheating is rampant in our elections.” Follow @_comrade_kat_ for more." 310 likes, 19 comments - voteinorout on March 24, 2026: "Via @nbcnews — Trump cast a mail ballot in an upcoming Florida special election, according to Palm Beach County records, as he publicly condemns the voting method as fraudulent.
