1. Well, he promised voter fraud

When people follow his direction, and they will, then he will be proven right and the results of the election can end up in the courts.....

"Your honor, the President of the United States said that I should do this, how can it be illegal?"

If someone could explain the mechanics of how you would know that your mailed vote had been tabulated before the polls close on election day, I would appreciate it.

4. He also promised that this would be the most rigged election

in history... because he's rigging it as much as he can.

5. Nope. Their double vote will be immediately detected and their votes will be trashed.

Ever state has a process to do it. Because mail in voting is safe and highly regulated. Most will not even be allowed to vote in person because they were sent a mail in ballot. Or will have to cast a provisional ballot and when their mail in vote is found both will be thrown out.

Then they will be referred to the local prosecutor.

It won’t hold up the vote at all.

And you can bet a few will try it. Look at how many people have been hospitalized for drinking bleach.

6. I think what Chainfire was saying is that ...

... they will do it merely to seed the court contest. Getting caught is the point.

7. In 2016, I got a trump supporter arrested for trying to vote twice

I was in the voter protection war room and an election judge called me and asked if trying to vote twice was against the law. A trump supporter insisted that he had the right to vote twice. We had a room full of lawyers and fed the election judge with the provision of the Texas Election Code that made it a crime to vote twice. This idiot was arrested and this arrest made the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/01/0-000002-percent-of-all-the-ballots-cast-in-the-2016-election-were-fraudulent/

A man in Texas who voted twice. Phillip Cook was arrested on Election Day after voting twice. He claimed to be an employee of Trump's campaign who was testing the security of the electoral system. He wasn't an employee of the campaign — and the polling location's security worked perfectly well, it seems.

BTW, his second vote was not registered. The mere attempt to vote twice was a crime
