DeSantis says Trump isn't trying to ban mail voting in Florida

He defended Florida’s mail voting system, which is popular with voters.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that he doesn’t think President Donald Trump’s desire to ban voting by mail applies to Florida.

Asked about Trump’s vow on Monday to “lead a movement” to end the use of mail-in ballots, DeSantis said he thought it only applied to states that send mail ballots to all voters.

“What he means by vote my mail, I think, just in my conversations, is the states like California and Nevada and others, where they just send all these ballots out into the ether,” DeSantis said during a news conference.

He defended Florida’s system, in which voters have to request a vote-by-mail ballot.

Did anyone ask him about the military serving out of the country? They use absentee ballots which are mail in ballots… it’s another way to excuse himself from the Epstein shit.
