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 to bogged down by?
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”
Does anyone at the guardian genuinely believe that pointing out conservative hypocrisies does literally anything?
It’s a Sisyphian task, but it needs to be on the record so it can’t be denied.
Unlike the Third Reich, the Trump Administration doesn’t keep accurate records of their atrocities, so someone else has to. It didn’t stop Hitler and it won’t stop Trump, but the truth preserved prevents Holocaust deniers from convincing society at large, and we’re going to need to remember the details when we’re giving real teeth to the Constitutional limits on Presidential power, restructuring the checks and balances, and setting term limits on the Supremes.
Are we supposed to be surprised? At this point we know he would trade his kids for McDonald’s, if he had to.
Not McDonald’s the corporation, not even a single franchise.
He’d trade them for a Big Mac and medium fries.
I feel like I am crazy. Did he not already get called on doing this before and then just said: “I need to because I’m President.”
Yeah he has voted through mail multiple times. Man’s a hypocrite.
So we should expect a strongly worded letter from the Dems in response? Right? Right?
Mmmm, best I can do is saying they wont bring Medicare for all up if they get majorities.
