From the Preisdent, these 3 very intriguing tweets a short while ago...
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 3h Based on the massive number of Unsolicited & Solicited Ballots that will be sent to potential Voters for the upcoming 2020 Election, & in order for you to MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS & IS COUNTED, SIGN & MAIL IN your Ballot as EARLY as possible. On Election Day, or Early Voting,..
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 3h .....go to your Polling Place to see whether or not your Mail In Vote has been Tabulated (Counted). If it has you will not be able to Vote & the Mail In System worked properly. If it has not been Counted, VOTE (which is a citizen’s right to do). If your Mail In Ballot arrives....
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 3h ....after you Vote, which it should not, that Ballot will not be used or counted in that your vote has already been cast & tabulated. YOU ARE NOW ASSURED THAT YOUR PRECIOUS VOTE HAS BEEN COUNTED, it hasn’t been “lost, thrown out, or in any way destroyed”. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
So basically it appears that he's decided the best course of action is to beat the Democrats at their own game. He wants us to vote by mail. And then to show up at the polls on Election Day and try to vote.
If the mail ballot system is working as advertised they'll know you already voted and refuse. But if they don't go ahead and vote.
That means your mail vote for Trump will still be out there and able to be used if this comes down to a battle of who can harvest the most mail votes after Election Day.
“- if the mail in vote is ‘lost’ you still get a vote in person
- if the mail in vote was counted, then they will just not let you vote in person.”
There is a third possibility.
- if the Democrats have the system set up to not verify that a mail-in vote has already been counted, then you, just like the Democrats, get two votes counted.
In the third case, then we beat them at their own game. The loud complaints from the media charging that President Trump is advocating that his supporters vote twice sure sounds like the third option is in play.
Asymmetric political warfare being played by the master.
I agree. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to “attempt” to vote twice. If you mail in your ballot then go to the polls you are doing just that even if you are relying on the system to catch you. How is this different than voting in one polling place then going to another and attempting to vote again if the system does not stop you?
I think openly stating vote fraud is going to be prosecuted aggressively and minimum prison sentences are going to be applied is the way to go. We have arrived at this point because rampant vote fraud has not been prosecuted and the fraudster dems have no fear of accountability. Why would they not steal elections if there are no consequences?
Just ask three folks in Dresden.
My concern is that the mail-in Republican ballot may be spoiled as it is processed and the “spoiler” could still register it as voted, even though it is spoiled. Thus, attempting to vote in person would be thwarted.
That is impossible in a General Election. Nobody can see how you voted after the fact.
Brilliant analysis!
Obama told illegals to vote in 2016.
Clever strategy for a candidate with *highly enthusiastic* voters. After all, it takes extra effort to vote in two different ways.
It potentially rewards those with a sense of civic duty and an ability to follow directions. Their vote may be more likely to be counted.
Now watch the Democrats come out and argue against it, saying it creates an effective “hurdle” for those without the means or ability to cast their vote both ways.
On the other hand if 5 million Trump voters in this state do that, what is the AG going to do? Prosecute them all? We will have Cloward-Pivened his system.
How can the left get mad at POTUS? If the voting system is as secure as the dems claim it is, people will not be having their vote counted twice. If a state allows someone to vote in person, even after having voting by mail, we can be certain that one of those votes will not be counted. In other words, POTUS is just taking the dems at their word. Brilliant.
If CA. mails out ballots to EVERYONE then I WILL BE voting by mail AND at the polls mark my word these bastards wanted it this way so I will be participating in their game I have had ENOUGH of their BS!!!
Only if the system isn't working, which the demoncraps are counting on. By urging Republicans to do the same, it puts pressure on demoncraps to either demand in-person only voting, or to say the mail in ballots must be in and counted by election night.
I remember.
They do know if you’ve been sent a mail in ballot. They don’t know if you’ve mailed it back (I think).
If you were sent a mail in ballot and show up at a precinct to vote without it in hand (can turn it in), you can only vote provisionally.
Either way, in CA both provisional and mail in ballots are tossed if from a Republican. Only in person voting counts from Republicans. The rest are found floating in boxes in the SF Bay (true story).
Checking to see if your mail-in ballot was received — and then voting on Election Day if it wasn’t — is NOT “attempting to vote twice.”
This actually exposes a huge flaw in the mail-in voting process. If you vote by mail you have no idea if your ballot was ever delivered. For this reason, I can’t imagine why anyone with half a brain would vote by mail if they were capable of voting in person.
Sounds like a plan. This is political war and one shouldn’t quibble too much about the weapons used. The other side won’t be playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules.
I wonder if the polling places in states with Dem Governors will be closed because of The Plague.
This is what has happened in the last few months:
- They tried to prevent Trump from holding large rallies
- They prevented Trump from holding any rallies
- They tried to Prevent Trump from leaving the White House
- They told Trump he couldn’t accept the nomination at the White house
- They told Trump he couldn’t accept the nomination at North Carolina
- They told Trump he couldn’t accept the nomination in Floriday
- They told Trump he couldn’t accept the nomination in Pennsylvania
- They told Trump his voters couldn’t go to polling stations
- They told Trump his voters must vote by mail
- They told Trump his voters cannot validate that their mailed in votes were properly tabulated
Folks, they are trying to make it illegal for Trump to even run for office let alone win. This is precisely the right move and I hope he pushes it more often. If the system works then great but if it doesn’t Trump will have millions of votes post election to be counted and/or harvested just like the Democrats will have.
