President Trump Requests Mail-In Ballot for Upcoming Florida Primary


For the Second time as a Palm Beach County Voter, President Trump has Requested a Vote-by-Mail Ballot ahead of Florida's Primary Election, while the President has just spent the Past few Weeks Excoriating Mail-in-Voting, has Less than a Week to Cast it.

The Request for himself and First Lady Melania Trump arrived, Wednesday August 12th. The Ballot would have been Picked up, Not Mailed to his, Illegal, Palm Beach Private Club, Mar-a-Lago, because the Deadline to Send-Out Ballots had Passed. Now it must Travel to Washington, D.C., where the President and First Lady can Vote and then Return before 7 p.m. Tuesday August 18th, when All Mail-In Ballots must be Submitted.

Trump and and First Lady Melania, registered to Vote using Mar-a-Lago as their Residence. But when Trump Converted Mar-a-Lago into a Private Club, he signed an Agreement that it would Not be his Residence. So under Florida Law, that should be a $5,000 Fine for both of them.

The Florida Election primarily involves choices for: Democratic and Republican Party Voters for such Seats as County Commission; Port of Palm Beach; State Legislature; and Congress. However, the Ballot also Features Judicial Races and the Elections Supervisor’s Seat, which are Open to All Voters Regardless of Party Affiliation.

The President and First Lady can Mark their choices for Seven Races, including for a Congressional Seat held by Liberal Democrat, Lois Frankel. On the Republican Ballot, the Trumps could Choose from an array of Candidates, including avid Trump Supporter and Conservative Provocateur, Laura Loomer, who has been Banned from Twitter and Raised more than $1 Million for her Campaign.

Trump has Blasted Vote-by-Mail, particularly Universal Vote-by-Mail, where Elections Offices Automatically send Ballots to All Registered Voters, rather than Allowing the Onus to be on the Voter to Request a Mail Ballot. Here I Agree with the President. By Sending a Ballot Request, the State can use the Undeliverable Request to Clean their Voter Rolls before Sending Ballots.

Last week, Trump singled out Florida as an Exception for Mail Fraud, tweeting that his Supporters there, should Request an Absentee Ballot and Vote-by-Mail because the Election System in the Republican-run Battleground State is "Safe and Secure, Tried and True."

Trump has Opposed Financing for the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), which he linked, Thursday August 13th, to his Dislike of Mail-in-Voting. "They need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots," Trump said on Fox Business Network, adding, "If they don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting because they’re not equipped to have it."

Florida Lawmakers Changed the Legal Wording, from “Absentee” to “Vote-by-Mail” in 2016, to alleviate Confusion, since Voters weren’t Required to be away from Home to Cast their Ballot. But Trump insists to still called it Absentee Voting.
