This is a thing?! Trump to Clinton early voters: Change your vote

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/trump-early-voters-change-230623

Donald Trump has a message for voters in certain states who already cast a ballot for Hillary Clinton and are beginning to feel buyer’s remorse: It’s not too late.
“You can change your vote in six states,” Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning. “So, now that you see that Hillary was a big mistake, change your vote to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”


++++++++++++++

Just heard about this for the first time this morning. This is NOT a thing in NV and it boggles my mind that it's a thing anywhere else! For those of you in a state that allows a ballot change, have you ever used the option?

Oh, the sweet smell of desperation and the hilarious miscalculation of thinking you can troll your way to the Presidency of the USA.

Guess Trump finally gets it that he's been preaching to the choir all campaign and has their votes, but now, one week before the election, he realizes that there aren't enough choir members to win.

How pathetic.

This little tactic is so feeble and desperate, no wonder we've never heard of it being tried before.

According to voting laws in Connecticut, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, if you change your mind on who you wish to vote for, you can have a do-over.

I personally think you should cast the ballot once and be done with it. No second chances. There's too many people to make special exceptions for these flighty folks. If you aren't sure, wait until election day. No one said you had to vote early.

Not. A. Chance!

I wouldn't vote to make Donald Trump mayor of a ghost town, never mind President of the USA.
