President Trump, who has been arguing that ballot by mail is fraudulent, has proposed to vote twice in this presidential election during a campaign in North Carolina.
Vote by mail in advance, and if that doesn't count, go to the polling place and do one more time.
[Trump/U.S. President (2nd local time): Send a vote by mail quickly and go to the field to vote.
If it is not counted, you have to vote for it to be reflected.
You shouldn't let them take your votes.]
President Trump, on Twitter, insisted that voting is a citizen's right, and that if a vote-by-mail ballot arrives after the on-site voting, it will not be counted.
The North Carolina Election Commission said it was a first-degree felony to make a statement and to vote twice, and it was also a crime to encourage multiple votes.
Attorney General William Barr sided with Trump, saying that the full introduction of vote-by-mail voting, which is vulnerable to fraudulent elections, is a game of fire.
[William Barr/US Attorney General: In theory, vote-by-mail is susceptible to fraud.
It's methodologically careless and dangerous.
People are playing with fire with vote-by-mail.] Some
analysts say that President Trump, who is being pushed out of approval ratings, is trying to break the vote-by-mail itself and create a pretext for dissatisfaction with the presidential election.
