Trump urges criminal acts - vote twice

Once again you took something out of context trying to make Trump look bad. However, if you wanted to be as honest as you expect Trump to be, you would have posted the entire message. Trump said to vote by mail early, then go to the polling place to make sure your vote had been received and logged. If not, then you could still have your vote count. This is not a bad idea for any one wanting to make sure their vote counts.
Be careful there....by correcting an erroneous accusation,
you'll be branded a "Trump apologist". All excoriation of him
is valid, true or otherwise, simply cuz he so richly deserves it.

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
So sad.

I'd be fascinated to see, after the election, how many die-hard Republicans get charged with actually doing what he suggested (cast your mail-in ballot, then go vote). I presume the system is set up so that at minimum, if the files were scrutinized, that would show up.

What would be the outcome if, after a Trump win, invalid votes were cast by a ratio of 90% by Republicans to 10% by Democrats? A redo?

The joke is the left taking the comment seriously.

Yea Trump was trolling, and apparently it worked well beyond expectations. It's called dry humor.
That's really nonsensical because if you watch him, he's quite emphatic. But either way, for him to even supposedly joke on such matters is highly unethical since some of his base may well do it and find themselves in the slammer with felony charges. It would be like if I made a joke about having a car bomb when I cross the border going into Canada.

Thus, the joke is really on those who think it was a joke because they've then bought into the next-day excuse.

If one looks at what he literally says, it's about
attempting to vote twice. Doesn't seem to be a
joke at all.
Btw, it appears that ABC is lying with their headline.
It's at odds with the text of their article.

I heard him (on NPR) say that.
Astounding, eh?
It's illegal to vote twice in every state for any reason.
And yet, you think there's no reason to be considered Trump won't give up the office if he loses the election? You think this isn't trying to set things up for just that?

Anything's possible.
But I don't worry about the unlikely.
Trump will leave office in 2021.
Until then, I'll leave it to the Dems to do this...

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.

Monkey see, monkey do.
The next few days should be a delight if you're a schadenfruede should people act on Trump's advice. Especially if Trump loses. He wins he'll pardon them all I don't doubt. He loses and it's gonna hurt for them.

What's he going to be saying at the end of October? Shoot a commie?

The law says electrocution.

I see eye to eye with you on many issues, however I don't believe anything has changed in the last four years that will result in a different election result. The more annoying Trump and the Republicans get, the less the Democrats are willing to compromise. Hence stalemate continues and if the vote indicates Trump is reelected everyone will believe it.
