The president's encouragement follows a surge in Democratic requests to vote for mail in Florida.
system is Safe and Secure, Tried and True. Florida’s Voting system has been cleaned up , so in Florida I encourage all to request a Ballot & Vote by Mail!,” Trump tweeted Tuesday.
Yet Florida hardly has a history of flawless elections, most notably in 2000 when the state's disputed vote count had to be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court, delivering the presidency to George W. Bush over Al Gore. Trump has gone so far as to suggest by tweet that the November election should be delayed “until people can properly, securely and safely vote.”
Florida is considered a must-win state for Trump's reelection prospects. Its presidential contests are usually close, with Trump winning by just 1.2 percentage points in 2016, and George W. Bush winning Florida by just 537 votes in 2000.
