After repeatedly emphasizing the risks of voting by mail, President Trump praised Florida’s “terrific” mail-in ballot system as “Safe and Secure, Tried and True” in remarks at the White House and on social media.

“They’ve been doing this over many years, and they’ve made it really terrific,” Trump said in a White House news conference on Tuesday, explaining why some states were better prepared than others to handle a massive distance voting effort in November. “In maybe a couple of other states they’ve worked out a system, but this took years to do. This doesn’t take weeks or months.”
