– President Trump voted in his adopted home of Florida on Saturday, joining more than 54 million Americans who have cast early ballots at a record-setting pace ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Trump voted at a library in West Palm Beach, near his Mar-a-Lago estate, after switching his permanent residence and voter registration last year from New York to Florida, a must-win battleground for his re-election bid, Reuters reports. “I voted for a guy named Trump,” he told reporters after casting his ballot. The rush to vote is a sign of the intense interest in the contest between Trump and Joe Biden, as well as concerns about avoiding crowded polling places on Election Day and reducing the risk of exposure to the coronavirus, which has killed more than 224,000 Americans. The United States set a single-day record of more than 84,000 new COVID-19 cases on Friday, according to a Reuters tally, with the spike in hitting battlegrounds including Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Many states have expanded in-person early voting and mail-in ballots as a safer way to vote during the pandemic. Trump, who has regularly condemned mail-in voting without evidence as prone to fraud, even though experts say it is as safe as any other method, voted by mail in two elections since he switched his address to Florida, a presidential primary in March and a state election in August.
