tRump appears to encourage North Carolinians to vote twice to test the system

[634-5789]

Americans can only vote once per election.
When Trump was asked by local news station WECT in Wilmington, North Carolina, whether he was confident in the state's absentee voting system, the President launched into a somewhat rambling answer.
"Well, they'll go out and they'll go vote, and they're going to have to go and check their vote by going to the poll and voting that way, because if it tabulates, then they won't be able to do that," Trump said on the tarmac in front of Air Force One. "So, let them send it in, and let them go vote, and if the system is as good as they say it is, then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it isn't tabulated, they won't be able to vote. So that's the way it is. And that's what they should do."

4. Well, of course, Trump "appears" to tell disciples to vote twice.

That way he can later state "I never said to do that."

5. "Appears"?

Seems pretty blatant to me.

"So, let them send it in, and let them go vote, and if the system is as good as they say it is, then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it isn't tabulated, they won't be able to vote. So that's the way it is. And that's what they should do." -Donald Trump

Blatant. This is much more than an "appearance" of encouraging people to commit a felony by attempting to vote twice.

When trump loses in a landslide and complains that the vote was compromised by voter fraud.. all we have to do is remember Sept 2 when he committed a felony by encouraging his base in NC to also commit a felony by voting twice.

What a loser...

6. Appears my arse.

But he's kinda right about one thing - if the system works as designed one can't vote twice. You can get no excuse absentee ballot in NC, but NC isn't mailing out absentee ballots to everyone. If you request an absentee ballot you will not be able to cast a proper ballot on election day unless you turn in your
unused absentee voting paperwork. Otherwise you can cast a provisional ballot which will only be considered if the absentee ballot doesn't arrive in time for counting and if the number of provisional ballots might sway the outcome of the vote.

8. I think this is a great idea. When they are caught, their vote (s) is thrown out completely.

9. 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
