The story in brief

WUSF reports that Palm Beach County election officials removed President Donald Trump’s personal details from public voter registration records after he requested privacy under a Florida law that does not list the president among eligible officials. The office approved the request without checking whether he qualified, according to the report. A lawmaker involved in drafting the measure said the omission was accidental and supports adding presidential protections. The change also makes it harder to see whether Trump votes by mail or in person.
