President uses method he has called ‘cheating’ in Palm Beach County race By Erica L. Green The New York Times WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, who has long railed against mail-in voting — including Monday, when he called it “mail-in-cheating” — used the method himself in a Florida special election scheduled to take place Tuesday.
According to voter records on the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections website, Trump voted by mail in Palm Beach County, home to his Mar-a-Lago Club. Records show he has been registered to vote there since 2019 — and that he mailed his ballot at least one other time, in 2020.
The website noted that Trump’s voter status was “by mail ballot” and that it had been counted in the special election that will determine whether Democrat Emily Gregory or Republican Jon Maples, whom Trump endorsed, will represent Trump’s district in the Florida state House.
Trump’s most recent vote, reported earlier by The Washington Post, comes as the president torpedoed negotiations to end the partial government shutdown to demand Republican lawmakers pass legislation called the SAVE Act that would stiffen voter identification requirements and make mail-in voting significantly more difficult.
he White House said in a statement that the legislation was not designed to eliminate mail-in voting. “The SAVE America Act has common-sense exceptions for Americans to use mail-in ballots for illness, disability, military, or travel — but universal mail-in voting should not be allowed,” the statement said. “
As everyone knows, the President is a resident of Palm Beach and participates in Florida elections, but he obviously primarily lives at the White House in Washington, D.C.”
During an appearance in Memphis, Tennessee, on Monday, he argued that the voter identification bill was essential to national security. “Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating,” he said. “I call it mail-in cheating, and we got to do something about it all.”
Also Monday, the Supreme Court appeared poised to reject Mississippi’s mail-in ballot law, a decision that could upend mail-in voting throughout the country. A decision in the case, brought by the Republican Party, is expected by late June or early July.
It could affect hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots for hotly contested congressional races in November. Trump has long fixated on mail-in-voting to bolster his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud, and has called the SAVE Act one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in the country’s history.
During his State of the Union address, Trump falsely claimed that “cheating is rampant in our elections” and called for “no more crooked mail-in ballots,” though states that vote entirely by mail see very little fraud.
Trump has called for some exceptions for mail-in voting, such as when voters are ill, disabled, traveling or in the military. But it is unclear why Trump chose to mail his ballot for this week’s Florida’s special election.
He has spent the past two weekends in West Palm Beach during the early voting period, which started March 14 and ended Sunday.
According to the elections website, his polling location is within a 15-minute drive of both his residence and his golf club. This article originally appeared in The New York Times
PM146, you are so right. Insolvent means: “Unable to pay debts.”
With regard to the federal government this is 100% bullshit. The federal government’s so-called “debt” is about $35 trillion. Even if it was $350 trillion or $3,500 trillion, the government could pay it all off today, buy punching a couple of computer keys.
However, insolvent also means “having liabilities in excess of a reasonable market value of assets held.” There are two problems with that definition with regard to the federal government.
No one knows the market value of federal assests. (What is the grand canyon worth? The Great Lakes? The Rocky Mountains? The Mississippi River? The 20-mile offshore band around America? The federal highway system? Washington Monument? etc., etc,
While that definition has some meaning with regard to monetarily non-sovereign entities, it doesn’t apply to the Monetarily Sovereign U.S. government.
I suspect Professor Steve Hanke knows it. He’s just a headline hunter trying to say that the federal debt is too high (though he is dead wrong about that, too. In fact, it’s way too low).
I doubt he is dumb, just ignorant of the facts. It’s what passes for teaching in America’s schools.
