Voting twice is illegal. Actually, it’s a felony.
But yesterday, while speaking in Wilmington, N.C., President Trump encouraged people to do it.
As a result of the President’s statement, the executive director of the NC Board of Elections had to issue a statement reminding people that voting twice is illegal.
“So 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 when asked whether he has confidence in the mail-in system in North Carolina, a battleground state, according to NBC News.
“If it’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. So that’s the way it is. And that’s what they should do,” he said.
