President Donald Trump attacked mail-in voting on Monday with an anecdote about one of his own trips to the ballot box that included a very unlikely detail.
“They asked me for my license plate,” he insisted. “I said, ‘I don’t know if I have it.’ They said, ‘Sir, you have to have it.’ I was very impressed, actually.”
Trump didn’t mention where this happened, but he has cast his most recent ballots in his adopted home state of Florida, which requires voters to present a photo ID as well as proof of signature if it’s not on the photo ID.
A license plate doesn’t contain a photo or a signature.
A Florida driver’s license has both, and may be what the president was referring to.
But given his attacks on former President Joe Biden’s gaffes, Trump’s critics weren’t gonna cut him any slack.
