Trump: I used a mail in ballot. You know why? Because I'm President of the United States, I did a mail in ballot for Florida because I felt I should be here. Reporter: But you were in Palm Beach

The SAVE America Act is really the “Stop Citizens from Voting Act.” Trump wants to throw out your freedom to vote to maintain his grasp on power—and in his words, “never lose an election again.” HELL NO!
