White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has voted by mail 11 times in the last decade despite spreading false claims that mail-in voting is rife with fraud, the Tamba Bay Times reported Wednesday.

McEnany, who was raised in Florida and owns a home on Davis Islands, has voted by mail in every election she's participated in as a Florida voter, including most recently the March 2020 presidential primary.

McEnany has aggressively defended Trump's false claims that mail-in voting is "substantially fraudulent" and that expanding the practice would lead to "a Rigged Election." Trump has long weaponized unsubstantiated claims of mass voter fraud for political purposes and appears to be ramping up his campaign against making voting safer and more convenient amid the pandemic as the presidential election nears.

"Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed" if states expand mail-in balloting, Trump claimed in a Tuesday tweet, which was later marked as misleading and fact-checked by Twitter.

Like McEnany, Trump also regularly votes by mail and believes he should be afforded that right despite his claims about fraud.

"The president is, after all, the president, which means he's here in Washington," McEnany recently said of Trump's voting habits. "He's unable to cast his vote down in Florida, his state of residence."

The White House didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
