President Trump and First Lady Melania cast their votes for Florida’s primary elections.
On Tuesday, a representative for the first family dropped-off their ballots at a polling place instead of returning them by mail. That’s according to the Palm Beach County Elections Office.
The president and the First Lady had requested their absentee ballots earlier this month. They decided to have their ballots picked-up and dropped-off in person to set an example for all Americans who may not want to cast their vote in-person.
President @realDonaldTrump just signed his ABSENTEE BALLOT!
This is very different than universal mail-in ballots, which would be a total disaster for our country.
REQUEST YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT!

President Trump noted that the practice of absentee voting eliminates a possibility of fraud, unlike millions of mail-in ballots.
