Trump once again tells supporters to commit voter fraud at stop in Pennsylvania



Published 1 min ago on September 3, 2020
By Matthew Chapman

On Thursday, at an event in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump once again told his supporters to illegally try to vote twice, ostensibly just to make sure their vote is being tabulated.

“Sign your mail-in ballot, okay?” said Trump. “You sign it and you send it in and then you have to follow it. And if, on Election Day or early voting, it’s not tabulated and counted, you go vote.” It is potentially illegal even to tell voters to do this, let alone doing it.

Trump then repeated a baseless attack on mail-in voting, saying, “If Russia, or China, or these other countries wanna cheat, all they have to do is forge ballots.” There is no evidence that mail-in ballots have ever been successfully counterfeited.

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the integrity of expanded and universal vote-by-mail, claiming ineligible voters could receive ballots due to out-of-date voter rolls, leaving a vast amount of ballots unaccounted for and vulnerable to tampering,” the bulletin notes.

If you're stupid enough to listen to Donald Trump, and you survived injecting Lysol or shoving light bulbs up your bum because your messiah told you to, here's your chance to get charged with a felony because he told you to do something illegal.
