Up First from NPR · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. AP reports that Palm Beach County voter records show Trump voted by mail in the March 2026 Florida state legislative special election, and that his ballot was counted.[1]
Supports. Snopes confirms from an online voter record that Trump cast a mail-in ballot in the March 2026 special election for Florida House District 87.[2]
Supports. Reuters reports the White House defended Trump's ability to vote by mail after reports he cast a mail ballot in Florida's August 2026 Republican primary, and the White House did not deny it.[3]
Supports. The Hill and Politico report, citing Palm Beach County voting records, that Trump requested a mail ballot in late July 2026 and returned it on Aug. 13 for the Florida primary.[5][6]
Supports. PolitiFact reports that Trump cast mail ballots in two 2020 Florida primary elections, so the claim holds for earlier years as well.[4]
Context. PBS reports that an Aug. 18 search of the county site did not show the August record and that the county cited state law limiting disclosure, so the primary vote rests on press reports of county records and the White House's non-denial.[7]
