President Donald Trump, who has frequently railed against voting by mail, submitted his ballot by mail for a Florida special election.

The Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections voter records show Trump's status in the March 24 state representative election in his district as "you voted by Mail Ballot." The ballot was received for processing on March 15, records show, the day after early voting began. Trump was staying at Mar-a-Lago for the weekend.

Trump said in August his party would do everything in its power to get rid of mail-in voting, calling mail-in ballots "corrupt."

"You know, brought to my attention today that we're the only country that does mail-in voting. Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it ‘mail-in cheating,' and we got to do something about it all," Trump said in Memphis on March 23.

Dozens of countries also used postal ballots even before the COVID-19 pandemic, when they became more popular, according to Pew Research.
