华盛顿，8月18日（路透社）——有报道称美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在佛罗里达州共和党初选中以邮寄方式投票，而他此前曾抨击邮寄选票是“欺诈行为”，白宫周二为此为特朗普的邮寄投票权进行了辩护。

“正如特朗普总统所说，《拯救美国法案》为因疾病、残疾、军人身份或出行原因需要使用邮寄选票的美国人设置了合理例外，但全民邮寄投票不应被允许，因为它极易引发欺诈，”白宫发言人奥利维亚·威尔士在被问及特朗普在初选中邮寄投票的报道时说道。
“众所周知，总统是棕榈滩的居民，参与佛罗里达州的选举，但他显然主要居住在华盛顿特区的白宫，”威尔士补充道。
Politico周一援引当地投票记录报道称，特朗普在佛罗里达州共和党初选中以邮寄方式投票。
棕榈滩县选举办公室表示，选民的邮寄投票信息属于保密内容。
特朗普正在推动国会通过新的投票限制措施，并试图限制邮寄投票，反复声称邮寄投票更易引发欺诈，这一说法毫无根据。
特朗普曾在佛罗里达州3月份的一次特别选举中以邮寄方式投票。

WASHINGTON, Aug 18 (Reuters) – The White House on Tuesday defended U.S. President Donald Trump’s ability to vote by mail, after reports the president cast his ballot by mail in Florida’s Republican primary despite previously blasting mail-in ballots as “cheating”.

“As President Trump has said, the SAVE America Act has commonsense exceptions for Americans to use mail-in ballots for illness, disability, military, or travel – but universal mail-in voting should not be allowed because it’s highly susceptible to fraud,” White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales said when asked about reports Trump voted by mail in the primary.
“As everyone knows, the President is a resident of Palm Beach and participates in Florida elections, but he obviously primarily lives at the White House in Washington, D.C.,” Wales added.
Politico reported on Monday that Trump voted by mail in Florida’s Republican primary, citing local voting records.
Palm Beach County’s election office said that information regarding a voter’s vote-by-mail is confidential.
Trump is pushing Congress to enact new voting restrictions and is trying to restrict mail-in voting, repeating unfounded allegations that it is more susceptible to fraud.
Trump cast his vote by mail in a March special election in Florida.
