Trump votes by mail while blasting the practice as 'cheating'

President Trump cast a mail-in ballot in a special local election being held today in Florida. He's used the method before — even though he frequently suggests the U.S. do away with voting by mail, including yesterday, in Memphis.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court heard a case from Mississippi yesterday involving mail-in ballots that are counted after Election Day — as long as they’re postmarked on time.  The Republican National Committee argues the practice should be illegal because Congress set an “election day.” But officials in Mississippi argue voters submitting their ballot in the mail by Election Day complies with federal statute — even ballots that aren’t received by officials until after Election Day. A decision in the case is expected this summer.
