Amid criticism over mail-in voting, Trump requests absentee ballot
Mail in voting IS absentee voting, and the same safeguards are in place for both....because they are *the same*.
But apparently, his supporters are stupid enough to believe that this is OK because he will sign it in ink, where mail in votes are signed by pen.

The request allows Trump and the first lady to vote remotely as Palm Beach County, Florida, residents.

President Donald Trump, whose campaign has tried to thwart mail-in voting, has requested an absentee ballot that will allow him to cast a Florida primary ballot via the U.S. Postal Service.
The request to vote remotely as a Palm Beach County, Florida, resident was confirmed Thursday night by White House Deputy Press Secretary, Judd Deere.
"The President supports absentee voting, not universal mail-in voting, which contain several safeguards that prevent fraud and abuse," Deere said by email.
