https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-says-florida-can-provide-accurate-vote-mail-results-because-n1235838WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he had "total confidence" in Florida's ability to administer a vote-by-mail system in November, but he cast doubt on other states' ability to deliver reliable results.
"Florida has got a great Republican governor, and it had a great Republican governor," Trump said when asked by a reporter to explain why his comfort with mail-in voting did not appear to extend to other states.
Trump is registered to vote in Palm Beach County, and he voted absentee in Florida's presidential primary in March. The president has said he plans to vote absentee again in the general election.
"Over a long period of time, they've been able to get the absentee ballots done extremely professionally. Florida is different from other states," Trump said Tuesday.
