Hours after once again denouncing states which are mailing ballots to all active registered voters for November, President Donald Trump on Wednesday urged his supporters to not only vote by mail or by absentee ballot, but also then to show up to the polls on Election Day to vote a second time, which theoretically could put voters in legal jeopardy.
Some election experts said the President himself broke the law by suggesting people should vote both by mail and in person.
In his answer, the President quickly suggested that people should both cast a ballot by mail, and then vote again at the polls.
“Well,
they’ll go out and they’ll vote, and they’re going to have to go and
check their vote by going to the poll and voting that way, because if it
tabulates then they won’t be able to do that. So, let them send it in,
and let them go vote, and if their system is 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. But send in your
ballots, send them in strong, whether it’s solicited or unsolicited, the
absentees are fine - we have to work to get them - you know, it means
something. And you send them in - but you go to vote - and if they
haven’t counted it, you can vote. So, that’s the way I view it.”
