Sestriere: I voted for a guy named Trump,” he said with a smile as he emerged. US President Donald Trump cast an early ballot Saturday in the US election as he geared for another grueling day of campaigning ahead of the November 3 vote. He voted at a library serving as a polling center in West Palm Beach, Florida. He has a home in that state and switched his residency there last year from his native New York.

While voting, he wore a mask, which is rare for the president, who has played down the pandemic. Nearly 55 million Americans have now cast early votes as the Covid-19 has made in-person voting more problematic.

Trump said that “It was a very secure vote. Much more secure than when you send in a ballot, I can tell you that,” who insists without giving evidence that mail-in voting leads to fraud. Trump also said “Everything was perfect, very strict, right by the rules. When you send in your ballot, it could never be secure like that”.

Trump is waging a frenetic last-ditch drive to catch up with Biden in the final days of the race, with rallies planned Saturday in North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, all of them battleground states.
