I don’t think anyone is seriously opposed to absentee voting when the person doesn’t have a practical way to vote at the polls, due to being away from their district on election day, being medically unable to leave their home, or that sort of thing. They just want to curtail it to such necessary cases. Trump presumably voted from Washington DC for Florida election and that would qualify.
Trump, Who Calls Mail-in Voting ‘Cheating,’ Just Voted by Mail

Trump voted by mail while golfing in Florida, so no childfucker is just a hypocrite.

Shrug, I’m not a fan of Trump but I still don’t see the issue there. If he got mail-in voting banned and then skirted around the ban himself somehow, that would be scammy. If he wants it banned for everyone including him, but as long as it’s available to everyone he’s gonna use it, then whatever. The thing about postmark not being good enough to authenticate voting date is just crazy though. Postmarks are used for all kinds of legal authentication and voting isn’t special that way.

I can’t fathom any reasonable person giving Trump the benefit of the doubt about anything election related in 2026.
I’d say “think harder” but uh, you can actually think LESS when the answer to why he wants to stop mail-in voting is this obvious.

Not giving Trump any benefit it’s about someone (even a bad person) using the options they have available. People here love saying gotcha but in this instance it’s illogical.
