US election: Trump tells North Carolina voters to vote twice

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-...eporting-story

US President Donald Trump has told people in the state of North Carolina to vote twice in November's election, despite this being illegal.

Mr Trump suggested voters vote once in person and a second time by post, in order to stress-test the system.

The president has frequently made false claims that postal votes are vulnerable to significant electoral fraud.
"Let them send it in and let them go vote," he told North Carolina broadcaster WECT-TV on Wednesday. "And if the system is as good as they say it is then obviously they won't be able to vote (in person)."

After President Trump made the comments, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein tweeted that he had "outrageously encouraged" people in the state to "break the law in order to help him sow chaos in our election".
SO, after blocking funding for the US Postal Service and appointing Louis DeJoy as Postmaster-General* to sabotage the postal system itself, a process which has now been stymied, Trump is now trying another tactic - encourage user overload to cause disruption in the service and confusion at the polling stations.

* The Postmaster-General is the second-highest paid U.S. government official, based on publicly available salary information, after the President of the United States.

That is NOT what The Don is proposing.

Trump was telling voters to vote twice because the Democrats think mail in voting is such a good idea. We all know elections are rigged by double voting, we saw it here with students. Just make it a standard for everyone
