Donald Trump and his wife Melania have both applied for absentee voting by mail at the Palm Beach County election office.Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many states in the U.S. believe that they want mail-in ballots, as going out to vote is not advised under the present circumstances. President Trump has been vocal about the mail-in polls and has criticized it for a long time. However, both Trump and his wife Melania have reportedly applied for an absentee ballot in Florida. Reports also suggest that these ballots were en route to the Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago golf club.
On August 13, 2020, Trump said that he supported absentee ballot but not universal mail-in ballots as the latter would be sent out in bulks to post offices, which could easily be manipulated.
