Trump suggest voters should vote twice

“So let them [voters] send it in and let them go vote, and if their system’s as good as they say it is, then obviously they won’t be able to vote. If it isn’t tabulated, they’ll be able to vote,” Trump said when a local TV reporter asked whether he had confidence in the vote-by-mail system.

Intentionally voting twice is illegal, and in many states it is a felony.

“So send it in early and then go and vote,” Trump said. “You can’t let them take your vote away; these people are playing dirty politics. So if you have an absentee ballot . . . you send it in, but I’d check it, follow it and go vote.”

Trump's victory is assured, so we Trump supporters won't have to vote for him twice. Did you know it isn't possible to spell TRIUMPH without TRUMP?

He just gave reason for a recount in every state that he might win.

Thanks.... were on the internet and .. forgive me things in this story were left out. I know about this and everything he said. All one needs to do is watch the whole thing.

As for the other post "recount" What did H Clinton tell Biden to do about a week ago I think? How many Lawyers do the Dem's have right now in each state vs Rep?

Did not some one just talk to a person that has been doing "mail fraud" for many years? Did not someone just win in a state where they still don't know if they really won. Didn't NJ catch 1in5 mail in that were fraud? And were here have always voted my mail Not sure why some things are not being talked about.. odd

So now he's telling his supporters to break the law?

No, but thanks for sharing that astute observation.

I wonder about certain people sometimes. I can’t tell if they’re being serious or if they’re being facetious. I think it’s hard to determine sometimes. Like the song says, “People are strange...”

You can't spell TRUMP without [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], either; does that mean that his detractors are right when they say he's a horse's behind?

Don't worry about it, voter fraud is very rare.

And every one he might lose. It is quite clear from this thread that many people who are not going to vote for Trump heard this as well.

People who are not going to vote for Trump are not going to risk committing felonies because Trump gives them misinformation.

What would their defense be? "The president lied to us."

Prosecutor: "You believed the president?!?"

So you are saying only have a recount in the close states that Trump wins, not the ones he loses? Great idea, can't see anything wrong with that. Excuse me while I go get my fallout shelter stocked.

Democrats aren't going to break the law because Trump says to and he knows that. So he must be talking to his faithful followers.
Most Republicans wouldn't follow him in committing fraud but some probably would. He just made it seem as though they couldn't get caught.

He's interested in making any mess of this that he can. Chaos is his middle name.

Relax, I have it on reliable information from CNN that voter fraud is very rare.

Why do folks continue to be surprised? We seen this kind of rhetoric and actions for 5 years now.

It is one thing to win because of the miscounting of votes (1960, 2000). It is quite another to openly, beforehand, ask people to break the law.

It is amazing to me to see an incumbent in so much trouble. Incumbent administrations just don't lose. Bush Sr was really seeking the 4th term of Reagan-Bush, when he lost his re-election. Jimmy Carter was a 1 term president. Kennedy/Johnson had 2 terms, although Johnson didn't serve his own second term. That is it since before WWII.

I am appalled and offended that someone would suggest that the President of the United States, duly elected by the citizens of our great country, whose term is ordained by God, would joke about our sacred institution of voting when so many Americans feel insecure about their future, or would instruct his supporters to do something illegal which would harm them or our country. He and his legal team have already told us that since he is the president, nothing he does can ever be illegal.

He may not be the most articulate president that has ever served, but no one can say that his heart and motives are not pure and meant for our common good. I'm sure he fully respects and understands the foundation of voting and it's importance to our democracy.

In that vein, I personally hope that every single Trump supporter chooses to swiftly, faithfully and enthusiastically follow his directions and model for the anarchists, who Trump has said dwells on the left, how a true patriot committed to the betterment of our country, should behave and support our country and it's chosen president. I have full confidence that he will not lead them astray. As he has spoken, so let it be done.

This is a fine example of poisoning the well, thank you, well done!

He said something similar in 2016. At least two supporters went to jail testing out his theory, and I believe one of them lost the right to vote in their state. It would be a shame if that happened to a large swath of the GOP electorate, but as I said before, I'm sure his intentions are meant to serve the greater good.
