Palm Beach local shares why voting next to Mar-a-Lago feels different
A Palm Beach resident gives rare insight into voting when living near presidential candidateʼs home. Anne Carrʼs experience shows unique perspective of casting ballot in luxury island community
In this years election season many Americans went to polling stations but one Palm Beach neighborhood had an un-usual voting experience. Living in the high-end barrier island community some residents found themselves making choices about a well-known neighbor: Donald Trump
Anne Carr who moved to this up-scale area during the covid times (when many folks re-located to Florida) discovered herself in a unique position; having to vote while living near Mar-a-Lago. The fancy neighborhood sits between two land-marks: the historic Breakers Resort and Trumps luxury club-residence
The barrier islands community which is known for its mega-mansions and palm-lined streets presents an interesting case of local politics.
