THAT could get you arrested….
And Trump won’t pardon ya if you are stupid enough to follow his suggestion…
The big seems to be working hard to bust up things for Election Day …..like his Russian friends?
“Let them 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.
Intentionally voting twice is illegal, and in many states, including North Carolina, it is a felony.
The president also greeted supporters on the tarmac upon landing in Wilmington, N.C., and made nearly identical comments, encouraging them to send in their ballot “and then go in and vote.”…
Update…
It turns out that President Trump’s urging of his supporters in North Carolina to vote twice — once by absentee ballot and once in person — is actually a Class I felony in the state.
For any person with intent to commit a fraud to register or vote at more than one precinct or more than one time, or to induce another to do so, in the same primary or election, or to vote illegally at any primary or election.
Rick Hasen: “I don’t expect Trump to be prosecuted for this statement but it is a terrible thing to encourage voter fraud — especially by someone who consistently makes claims that it is rampant in the U.S. (it’s not).”
Aaron Blake: Trump’s awful advice on voting twice.
