President Donald Trump requested a mail-in ballot for Floridas primary election next Tuesday, while appearing intent on undermining mail-in voting for the millions of Americans expected to do so in this falls general election.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump submitted their applications for a mail-in primary ballot on Wednesday, according to the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections website , as first reported by the Palm Beach Post .

Last year, the Trumps switched their voter registration from New York City to Palm Beach County, Florida , where he owns his Mar-a-Lago club.

On Thursday, the president all but admitted he is blocking funding to the cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service in order to hamper voting by mail. Many Americans will likely vote by mail because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and local and state election officials and the Postal Service are bracing themselves to contend with an influx of mail-in ballots this fall.

Trump has repeatedly spread conspiracy theories about voting by mail, falsely suggested there will be rampant voter fraud, called for the November election to be delayed (which he cannot do under the Constitution) and has implied he will cast doubt on the election result.

Voting rights advocates and election watchdogs have expressed deep concerns about the election, warning Trumps rhetoric and actions will lead to increased voter suppression.
