evidence: Despite spending months after the 2020 presidential election attacking the safety of mail-in voting, former President Donald Trump once again relied on the voting method to cast his ballot in a Florida municipal election held Tuesday. [...] Trump repeatedly targeted mail-in voting in the aftermath of the 2020 election, claiming increased access due to the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated opportunities for fraud, though there is no evidence suggesting this is true. "If foreign countries want to, this is an easy system to break into because they’ll do counterfeit ballots … They’ll do counterfeit ballots by the millions," Trump said at a White House meeting with state attorneys general on Sept. 23 in one of numerous false claims about mail-in ballots. The former president at times homed in on states that automatically sent mail-in ballot applications to all registered voters as opposed to those making voters request a mail-in ballot, and at one point labeled Florida’s voting system "safe and secure," urging residents to vote by mail. "Florida’s voting system has been cleaned up … so in Florida I encourage all to request a Ballot & Vote by Mail!" Trump tweeted in August.
