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.
Add perjury to the charges. Good plan. </sarcasm>
If you vote twice under the same name and in the same jurisdiction while you’re only registered once, that should result in criminal charges AGAINST THE ELECTION OFFICIALS
Really. If I rob a bank should the bank employees be charged for not stopping me?
Yup. Now that Trump has put this out there either they argue that this breaks the system (seems really easy to do) or they let it happen. After the vote Trump still has millions of ballots out their to be harvested. Don’t just let the Dems cheat their way to power.
Hoist on their own petard.
They thought they’d be the only ones with the third option. EVERYONE here planning to vote for Trump should do just this. Mail in your ballot AND go try and vote in person. A fair system will only count one. If the system is unfair your 2 votes will match their 2 votes.
Unlike an armed bank robbery, voting twice under the scenario I presented can easily be done INADVERTENTLY.
And I raised this on a different thread. Barr was on the TV yesterday claiming that vote fraud is a real problem and a threat to the upcoming election. But vote fraud where the candidate is running for a federal office is a federal crime. If it is as widespread as Barr claims then he should be filing charges against hundred, thousands of people. Yet he hasn't done squat. If Trump is forced to contest the election in November on vote fraud grounds he's going to have solid evidence of fraud so pervasive that it impacted the outcome of the election. He's going to need that evidence immediately, not months in the future. And if Barr can't find enough evidence to charge people two years after the last federal election then how the heck is he going to find evidence within days after the upcoming one?
Saying mail-in voting is secure, but only if no one tries to cheat, is the same as saying it’s NOT secure.
Here in Michigan they mailed application for mail in ballots. I moved 2 years ago and changed everything. My fear is I go to vote, and someone else voted mail in in my name. What do you do then
News media tried to infer that he was telling people to vote twice at Kayleigh news conference and she said you didn’t finish what he said and went to read about if your vote hasn’t been tabulated in the log, etc.
As a Dem fraud ballot operative came out the other day and said they take blank ballots and take out original ballot from a steamed open ballot envelope and fill out a new ballot and insert it in the original ballot.
He said ballots need to be water marked so they can’t be photo copied and/or have bar codes on them. Wish President would do EO ordering ballots to have these markings.
Your analogy is completely off. A more accurate one would be if you went and voted once and they counted it twice. That's their fault, not yours.
Unlike an armed bank robbery, voting twice under the scenario I presented can easily be done INADVERTENTLY.
There is nothing accidental about mailing in a ballot and then showing up in person wanting to vote. Assuming the system worked and they told you at the poll that your ballot had already been cast they could still arrest you for attempted vote fraud.
The Nazis started out bombing cities in WW II. The we really learned how to and did them many times better.
I think it’s fine. With some states not checking the mail-ins until election day and afterward for verification, it might be better in such cases to go to the polls, or if mail-in, just drop the ballot in a secure BOE drop box, to take the postal service and ballot harvesting players out of the equation.
2. My assistant informs me the next day that the mail never went out, and she doesn’t know where it is.
3. Knowing this, I go to my local polling place a week later to vote in person on Election Day.
4. Unbeknownst to me, the outgoing mail was mistakenly picked up by the FedEx driver who came by the building on his daily route and collected a bunch of FedEx packages and envelopes for delivery. When he realized that some regular U.S. mail was among these items, he dropped them into the mailbox up the street.
You’d better believe a prosecutor is going to need a hell of a lot more evidence than a mail-in voter simply showing up on Election Day to support an “attempted vote fraud” charge.
Kayleigh addresses this misnomer at today’s presser.
You vote early, sign it & mail it.
On Nov 3, you go to your voter location, get in line, and you will find out if your early ballot is on the books.
If your name indicates you already voted and your early ballot was received and logged, you’re good to go.
If your name, indicates no early ballot was cast, received or logged, then you will want to vote on Nov 3, election day.
Early ballots are checked against actual voters, so it may be logged, but won’t be included in the count.
Don’t vote twice. It will just give the Dims a reason to toss out Republican ballots across the country, even in districts where we won fair and square, and it will discredit us among independents. I will vote once, though my state’s Electoral Votes are a shoo-in for Biden. Maybe I can make some difference further down the ballot.
Everybody on twitter is missing the point ,:
Trump is trolling ; if mail in is secure there will be no way for people to vote twice AND everyone has the right to vote and check their vote regardless , its not only legal but our right
I don’t see how there is a good chance your vote is counted twice.
If you mail it in weeks before the election, it should have shown up and you will not be able to vote on 11/3. If it has not arrived by 11/3 there is a good chance it will never show up.
If you vote on 11/3 and it shows up on 11/5, the ballot showing up on 11/5 should not be counted. I certainly hope they are checking mailed in ballots that show up after 11/3 to ensure that the voter did not ALSO cast a vote on 11/3.
I think there is a very small chance that you will be able to vote twice unless you coordinating fraudulent activity with the poll workers who are counting the ballots. I am pretty sure the Democrats WILL be doing just that. They are probably organizing their constituents to vote in person AND by mail then “mistakenly” not check if the person already voted in person when accepting the mailed in ballot.
Then if somebody mails in their ballot, and then goes and votes in person, the person essentially gets to vote TWICE.

Only if you’re a living dead DemonRat.
Otherwise, you’re good.
