Supports. PolitiFact reports that Palm Beach County records showed Trump cast a mail ballot in the August 18, 2026 Florida primary, though the county site did not show the record publicly.[1]
Supports. Reuters reports the White House defended Trump's ability to vote by mail after reports he cast his ballot by mail in Florida's Republican primary, without denying it.[2]
Supports. The Hill, citing Politico and Palm Beach County records, reports Trump requested a mail ballot in late July and returned it August 13 for the August primary; the White House called the story a 'non-story'.[3]
Context. Records were reported as protected from public disclosure, so the detail rests on Politico's reporting and the White House's non-denial rather than on directly viewable public records.[1][4]
