Trump urges criminal acts - vote twice

What? Me worry?
Let us look at what was actually said -- and also the mechanics, which I'm sure Trump is aware of. First, what he said:

"So, let them send it in and let them go vote,And if the system is as good as they say it is then obviously they won't be able to vote" in person.

Next, the mechanics: in many states (not all) mail-in votes are not processed until after the polls close, so while the polls are open, how could they be checked? And in any case, any mail-in ballot with a postmark on or before the close of polls, but only by a few days, would most likely not have yet been processed, even in those states where processing can begin early.


Exactly. Not sure what point you're trying to make. If you send your ballot in in time, your name should be marked out on the rolls if it's acknowledged. You should not be able to vote at the polls later. No brainer.

Sixteen states do not allow sufficient time for mail-in ballots to be registered, so that in-person voting can be denied to somebody who has already mailed in a ballot.

The joke is the left taking the comment seriously.
Jeez Louise, some need to loosen up a bit, but thats politics eh?

A bunch of stiff old wood planks gnawing on toothpicks.

Yea Trump was trolling, and apparently it worked well beyond expectations. It's called dry humor.

That's what his supporters tell themselves because they're in denial about his lack of self-awareness, intelligence, integrity, and decorum.
"No, my Trumpy-poo's gotta be joking or trolling. He can't be that dumb!"
Humor requires wit, and he's a witless oaf.

Are you sure? I would think at worst it could be ignorance if anything else if not a joke. Most would see it that way i hope. I'm sure if so, Trump would have been educated by his medical advisors now that bleach is best left for cleaning surfaces.
I prefer my world leaders intelligent, informed, and educated. When my left nut has more smarts and charisma than the POTUS, there's a serious problem.

Voting twice is against the law but Trump has urged people to do just that. And his consigliere , Barr, does not know if it's against the law or not. He's trying to steal the election just like dictators the world over rig elections so they can claim the people voted for them.

At this point I will not accept trump winning unless every vote not in person by a Republican is challenged and held up until actual in person voting records can be double checked.

Trump encourages supporters to vote twice, which is illegal

I always remembered the phrase "Vote early and often."

Actually this is good.

It shows that Trump is not a Dharmic president
It shows that people voting for him are against Dharma

And if Trump is elected (and he will be) then we know that Kali Yuga is full on

That's a nice spin, but not true. His point was to make sure your vote was counted check that it was registered, and if it wasn't go to the polls regardless of whether you mailed it. If you vote twice under you same name nothing happens, your first vote gets counted and your second gets pitched. NPR is an extreme leftist ****-hole at this point, please don't consider them even vaguely balanced reporting. I mean, they're better than CNN, but not by much.

If the voting officials do not count your vote by election day you haven't voted, thus no double-vote.

It's amazing how many think he was just trolling and not serious. Some will take him seriously and do what he said.

I will accept that Trump has no idea how the election works in many states and when mail in ballots can be checked off as being received. And from ignorance and arrogance he made a truly stupid suggestion.

The net effect is that some will sadly believe him because they can't see how often he lies and how often he's clearly ignorant and try to do what he literally said.

wow.
You fell for that hook line and sinker.

Here's a better link. Shows how numbers arent specific to COVID but accounting for number of factors related to it. People follow stats as if it's scripture.

Excess Deaths Associated with COVID-19

Counts of deaths from all causes of death, including COVID-19, are presented. As some deaths due to COVID-19 may be assigned to other causes of deaths (for example, if COVID-19 was not diagnosed or not mentioned on the death certificate), tracking all-cause mortality can provide information about whether an excess number of deaths is observed, even when COVID-19 mortality may be undercounted

And do on...

Oh. Now this makes sense. But, could errors be made and a vote by the same person be “counted” twice?

Its a pretty sad state of affairs if people can't judge for themselves on something like that.

Darwin award hopefuls maybe?
