Trump Doubles Down On Call To Supporters To Vote Twice | Talking Points Memo

Trump doesn’t know what tabulate means. Hell, he couldn’t spell tabulate if you spotted him the Tab. You know, like his hotel contractors find out they did, retroactively.

The media continues to act as stenographers for every outrageous demonstrably false claim regarding voting while R’s refuse to fund election protection legislation. The absolute malpractice going on in the media as their need for a horse race to ensure maximal campaign advertising guides reporting is shocking but not surprising. Even this headline here should read “Trump Lies About Voting Tabulation Again While Encouraging Voter Fraud.” Each time @josh_m writes an editorial on how R’s need to be held to account for their illegal deeds I think this sentiment will be reflected in headlines. Not a chance. Sad,

Causing delays, confusion, and confrontations at the polls on election day is the point. Holding up the lines, angry near-violent exchanges - things that may cause more sensitive would-be voters to leave and go home - that’s why they’ll do it. Moreover, having said on record that “people should vote twice”, Trump can allege that all the Democrats actually did it, so the totals reported are “bogus.”

All of this is just a way to get the election nullified. Democratic office holders and voters need to figure out how to deal with, or better yet, prevent this from happening.

This is on the same level as invisible fighters and raking the forests. It’s just wild nonsense. You can’t help thinking it can’t go on this way, but of course the last four years teach us that it can. SMDH.

Win big and make sure the wins are in all geographies, not running up massive vote totals in NY and Cali and losing in the MidWest/SouthWest.

That’s the only option.

Organizing for early voting, organizing for general safe voting.

Forget street theater protest antics, November General, prepping for broad voter suppression efforts and overcoming.

Sadly, it’s not a crime until someone actually does it.

And then these multiple quotes can be used to designate Trump as an accessory to the felony.

At least we know exactly what’s going to happen in November, and have time to prepare for it. He’s going to declare victory that night, no matter what the results say or don’t.

it is illegal to cast a second vote after submitting an absentee ballot

But go ahead and try it, Republicans. It’ll be the last time you ever vote.

Doubly Desperate Orange Menace is committing felony AGAIN!

Trump is setting this unlawful voting act with his voter base (presumably MAGA will commit felony for him) and confuse other non-MAGA voters so that he can contest the election by saying there’s voter fraud. So then, Trump can delay the election and/or muddy the results!

I believe tRump is trying to create confusion for election night by having some of his followers vote twice but hope they vote for BIDEN. This way he can continue to scream fraud. Unfortunately people who are voting for Biden are highly educated and know it’s illegal but tRump supporter are not very educated and will follow what he says which is indicated by the increase in poison control calls for people drinking bleach.
