Trump recommends ILLEGAL twice-voting AGAIN in PA

[steve2470]

For 2nd straight day, Trump suggests his supporters in some cases should vote twice, which is illegal: "Sign your mail-in ballot, okay? You sign it & you send it in & then you have to follow it. And if, on Election Day or early voting, it's not tabulated and counted, you go vote"

3. Vote early and vote often - old Chicago Daley era recommendation

You know you have dead relatives that could be voting too with just a little effort made by you or another family member .
Trump told us to be afraid of fraud

4. The NC State BOE has updated its website...

"DOUBLE VOTING IS ILLEGAL."

It's insane that this is necessary because of the words coming out of the mouth of the President of the United States...

5. Honestly, if my mail in vote doesn't show up as received, that's exactly what

I’m doing. It won’t be counted twice if it shows up later, unless you use a different name somehow. That’s obviously a crime.

I believe most states allow you vote provisionally if the mail in ballot doesn’t show as received.

7. If that happens, go to the polling place ...

... and ask for a provisional ballot.

14. Thanks, I wasn't sure what the exact process is. My state supposedly

allows one to check on-line if it’s received. Supposedly, counties will start mailing ballots around September 19. If I fill it out then and drop it off at a ballot box, it should show up as received long before election.

If not, I’ll try to resolve over phone. But I’ll walk to polls at least 7 days before Nov 3 and vote provisionally. In my rube state, trump and GOPers should do well. But there’s a decent shot we could win or at least scare some of these MFers.

6. When Trump says something really fucking stupid...

... you can lay money on him saying it again and again because he thinks its genius.

8. Incitement to commit a felony.

That alone seems good reason to toss this criminal idiot from office and into prison.

10. Ditto!

9. Sounds like he now has no problem with vote by mail now. But he should be doing everything

possible to make mail-in voting work smoothly. if the Quackpot news and sites run with this, he will have created a huge clusterfuck. Even if they all end up walking it back, it's not so easy to reprogram Trump followers.

11. sounds like they're tweaking the message...

Barr, Trump, any more comrades pushing the party-line?

Russia is 'amplifying' claims of mail-in voter fraud, intel bulletin warns
Bulletin: “Russian malign influence actors” targeted absentee voting process.

Russia has sought to “amplify” concerns over the integrity of U.S. elections by promoting allegations that mail-in voting will lead to widespread fraud, according to an intelligence bulletin obtained by ABC News, again echoing a frequent and unfounded complaint raised by President Donald Trump.

Analysts with the Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence branch issued the warning on Thursday to federal and state law enforcement partners after finding with “high confidence” that “Russian malign influence actors” have targeted the absentee voting process “by spreading disinformation” since at least March.

“Russian state media and proxy websites in mid-August 2020 criticized the integrity of expanded and universal vote-by-mail, claiming ineligible voters could receive ballots due to out-of-date voter rolls, leaving a vast amount of ballots unaccounted for and vulnerable to tampering,” the bulletin notes.

13. Chaos is the name of the game for Chump.

This latest attempt is to harass poll workers and cause confusion at the polls on Election Day so that he can declare the entire election invalid. This way, he can create mayhem with the entire system in one blow - mail in, in person, etc. He's probably convinced that he can delay the election tabulations and void the election, remaining in power.
