Bill Barr Mocked After 'Playing Dumb' Over Legality of Voting Twice
Source: MSN/Newsweek
Attorney General William Barr was mocked for "playing dumb" after he claimed to be unaware of what state laws said on the legality of voting twice after President Donald Trump appeared to tell people to try and commit the crime.
Appearing on CNN on Wednesday, Barr said the president was trying to make the point that election monitoring was not good enough to prevent people from voting at polling stations if they already cast their ballots by mail.
But when he was pressed on the fact that such an action would be illegal, he said he was unaware of what state laws said about the legality of voting twice.
"I don't know what the law in the particular state says, and when that vote becomes final," Barr told CNN.

(14,173 posts)Either enough will get away with it, amid chaos in underfunded post offices, to put Trump on top
or many will get caught, whose fate Trump and Barr care not a whiff, and Trump can then claim his prediction came true, massive fraud that cancels the results. Barr would rubber stamp that immediately after the tweet.
