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.
And he knows that the Dems have set up a system to count votes multiple times. So now they have to soil their drawers worrying about Trump votes being counted multiple times. Asymmetric Warfare.
“I’m a little queasy with the ethics of this....”
We didn’t start this kind of activity, but if you are going to play by Robert’s Rules of Order while the other guy plays “Chicago Rules,” you’re a sucker and deserve whatever happens as a result.
You want to know the reality of letting a party like the Dems are now (not Truman’s Dems, nor Kennedy’s, not even Carter’s) get hold of power? Then read some accounts of the Russian Revolution - they murdered more of their own people after it was over and they had consolidated their power, than all of the deaths from enemy action, starvation and disease had inflicted on Russia during WW1.
No sir, playing by the rules when the other guy doesn’t is not moral - it is stupid!
Seen those pictures of Warsaw in 1945? Nothing we did, outside of perhaps Hiroshima came close. Not even Dresden.
In one of the recent state primaries there were more than 800 ballots disqualified because they were cast by DEAD PEOPLE. It doesn’t get more obvious than that. Has there been a single prosecution brought against anyone there?
I got 3 pieces of mail yesterday. Two were for donations to the Trump campaign that was a third party affiliate. Nope, only directly to Donald J. Trump campaign. The other was by my local Republican Party headquarters with instructions for absentee ballot request procedure.
I guess I shouldn’t have thrown that out, I’ll have to request an absentee ballot online and then confirm they got it in person.
My question is, wouldn’t it be fraud if you sent your ballot in, it hasn’t gotten counted yet, and voted in person? Don’t know how they calculate absentee ballots as I’ve always voted in person.
Your answer is obviously appropriate for today’s environment. It is sad it has come to this.
I wish you wouldn’t quote me out of context.
Here is the entirety of what I said.
“I’m a little queasy with the ethics of this, but it’s brilliant, and frankly he doesn’t have a lot of options”
Like a lot of the other posters here I’m disturbed that it has come to this. But I agree Trump has no choice but to do this.
As I told nwrep, the rules of the game changed when Alinsky wrote his damned book. It’s Thunderdome now.
If you're talking about Michigan that was shown to be fake news. Link
Has there been a single prosecution brought against anyone there?
I don't care whether the states have prosecuted anyone. If it's as widespread as Barr claims I want to know why HE hasn't prosecuted anyone.
I’m beginning to wonder why if vote by mail was the whole end game of the China Virus after all.
It’s almost impossible to prosecute vote fraud cases because it’s impossible to prove intent.
I don’t think they offer certified mail anymore. I plan to vote in person, but if I should need to vote absentee again, I’ll check the envelope carefully for any party designation, cross that out and mail it from another, Democrat leaning area.
Those ballot drop boxes everybody seems to trust are a dead give away to the people who empty them and take the ballots to the board of elections. They know very well how that area generally votes, and Republican ballots don’t make it to the board to be counted. Of course all mail voting states are one party rule.
All is fair in love and war.
We always vote at our poll place. ID required. Machine acceptance of paper ballot.
We’re in a small town in a 1 million plus county in FL.
If Trumpers mail-in and then stand in line to check whether their mail-in was counted the lines could be huge and 11/3 crowds could discourage voting day voting especially if its hammering rain with lightning.
We’re not standing outside with lightning banging around us.
On the other hand, with bad weather rain/snow/etc. the DIM vote is depressed so maybe long lines would have the same effect? Coin toss.
Twitter is fairly new. :)
When the CIC says to do it, it’s ok. :)
I 100% agree this is a troll of the left. So what are they going to do? I believe they’re going to go all in to prove that Trump voters voted twice, and in their efforts expose themselves as the ones responsible for massive voter fraud. Trump once again is playing 3D chess while the left is pondering their checkerboard.
You should put some kind of mark/word on the outside of the envelope and ask the clerk to read/tell it back to you - that way you'll know for sure if they got it and they're not just saying they got it.
interesting...I will be working elections in HARRIS COUNTY (it’s a biggie) & when someone tries to vote in person our system picks it up pretty well. TX is already trying to block the universal mail-in scheme with AG Paxton (R) & has been halted temporarily by TX Supreme Court. We have another Soros County Clerk playing the Soros game. The Dem. clerk before this guy resigned from her post. It was conjectured by many besides being in over her head she was pressured to do the Soros-style election.
Typically senior citizens will get an unsolicited mail-in ballot and when they show up in person before going too far in the process the computer system has an indication that a mail-in ballot was sent to the voter...then we call the election judge over to CANCEL the mail in ballot before they can get an access code to use the E-Slate machine and vote in person. We received a TRUMP Application for my mom who is still on the voter rolls & deceased. We shred it.
Oh please. If you mail in a ballot and then go and vote in person it's not that hard to prove you intended to do it.
They need to make it a national paid holiday to go and vote. No reason if you are given it off to not vote in person...
