President, who has decried mail-in ballots amid false claims of election fraud, issued March order to curb voting by mail
Donald Trump voted by mail in Florida’s Republican primary, Politico reports, citing Palm Beach county voting records. The White House has confirmed the president’s mail-in vote, according to the New York Times, which added that this is at least the third time the president has mailed his ballot.
In March, the president signed an executive order restricting the use of mail-in ballots ahead of the November midterm elections that will decide control of US Congress. Trump has repeatedly criticized mail-in voting, calling for restrictions on the policy for years and falsely claiming that his 2020 election defeat was the result of widespread voter fraud.
In a post on Truth Social on Monday, Trump continued his years-long false claims of election fraud in the United States – including by implying that mail-in voting is insecure.
I might be out of the loop here, but how is it that he, a felon, can vote?
Or is it just like the other constitutional laws they don’t get too bogged down by?
Florida law defers to the rules of the state they felony is in.
New York law is that felons can vote if they aren’t in jail.
Felons can, and ethically should be able to, vote a lot of the time. Restricting voting rights is never a good idea. Supposedly Florida has a cool off period I cant be bothered to check, but i dont see an issue with this past extremely laughable hypocrisy
That said, i think his vote probably just says “I vote me, lol”
