The Trumps made their requests for mail ballots on Wednesday and authorized an associate to pick up the ballots the same day.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The vote-by-mail ballots requested by President Donald Trump and first lady Melania TrumpThe ballots were dropped off in person, not sent back to Palm Beach County by mail, elections chief Wendy Sartory Link said. They did the same for the March presidential primary.Donald Trump keeps blasting 'universal' mail voting. But few states are planning that in November
Trump did not make the deadline for having the ballot mailed to him by requesting it 10 days before the election. He took advantage of a rule allowing the ballots to be picked up in person or by a designated representative, in this case Alejandro Garcia. Trump has railed against universal mail-in voting, claiming without evidence during a Fox Business Network interview that mail-in ballots “will be the greatest fraud in history.”
