President Donald Trump urged voters on Wednesday to attempt to vote twice, casting a ballot by mail and another in person in an illegal move that further mobilizes his widespread attack on the legitimacy of voting in the upcoming elections.
Don’t mail in ballots because mail fraud! Even though I mail in my ballots…
This election is rigged! Also, vote twice…
Part of me hopes he refuses to concede, so that I can watch him be led out of the WH in cuffs…
I STRONGLY support tRump and also encourage his cult members to vote twice. Not only will their vote not count-either one of them BUT it may jeopardize their constitutional right to vote in future elections. I’m all for thousands of brain dead republican voters losing their right to vote in any state in this county ever again.
He’s not saying this as part of his attack on mail-in voting. He’s urging his supporters to vote twice simply so he can try to get enough votes to win. He doesn’t care if they get convicted of voting fraud. He’s trying to use them for his own benefit … again.
I know I shouldn’t be so naive, but, man, there really is no limit to this guy’s talent for chaos, is there?
Kind of like the guy with a losing hand in a high-stakes poker game, who, instead of just throwing his cards in, tips the table over. And dares anyone to do anything about it.
Dear Bill Barr of @TheJusticeDept: As the Attorney General, you are expected not to be an idiot when it comes to basic legal principles. Federal law prohibits voting more than once in the same election. 52 U.S. Code § 10307. https://t.co/BzW0KM6mTc
Look at all those votes he’s gonna lose in NC, because all those voters who try to do that will have NO vote in the election, having been invalidated.
Shorter Trump: there is nothing physically preventing you from attempting to vote twice, so go do it, even though:
a) you will almost certainly be caught
b) it’s illegal everywhere, and a felony in most places
c) any extra vote won’t be counted, so you won’t achieve anything
As is so often the case, I don’t believe he’s even trying to make sense. He’s just throwing shit at the wall
Note that there were several people that ingested bleach following the President’s suggestion. Even if only a few hundred people try double voting it will cause chaos.
People will be breaking the law. It’s not like “oops you already have my mail in ballot? Dang! Oh well it was worth a try, I’m going home now”
This will make the Election Day even worse. It will happen. This was not an off the cuff remark by a buffoon. It’s part of the plan.
