(6,448 posts)North Carolina sued the Koch brothers for sending out robocalls to NC Democrats telling them to GOTV (the day after the election). The law is specific as it points out that anyone who hinders a free and fair election is committing a felony.
I'm sure at least 40 of our states have similar laws. I wish it would cover suppression and gerrymandering though. It's probably up to interpretation.

(6,927 posts)the "Attorney Fucking General" does not know if it is illegal to vote twice.
I have NO legal training, I am just a citizen and I know it is illegal.
He does not even hesitate when lying.

(45,454 posts)I'm fine with that.
Some of his supporters were arrested for trying this in 2016. It's kind of satisfying how dumb these people are.

(145,321 posts)I was in the voter protection war room and an election judge called me and asked if trying to vote twice was against the law. A trump supporter insisted that he had the right to vote twice. We had a room full of lawyers and fed the election judge with the provision of the Texas Election Code that made it a crime to vote twice. This idiot was arrested and this arrest made the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/01/0-000002-percent-of-all-the-ballots-cast-in-the-2016-election-were-fraudulent/
BTW, his second vote was not registered. The mere attempt to vote twice was a crime

(6,811 posts)The outer envelope on a mail in ballot is your signature in the poll book....
If your mail in was tabulated or accepted before you showed up at a polling place then you have already visited to vote and the poll book will reflect that and you won't be given a ballot at the polling place. The poll book will show you voted absentee or mail in.
If you vote at a polling place before your mail ballot shows up the poll book will show you have done so and the outer envelope of mail ballot won't be able to "sign" the poll book and will be disallowed.
Really shows they don't understand the audit trails built into the system.

(2,227 posts)The poll workers are going to have an up to date list of the mail in ballots submitted? HOW up to date? It can't be instantaneous, so I trumper can drop their ballot in the mail, and immediately go vote at the polls.
I would imagine the match would be DAYS out of date.
I know it could never happen, but the easiest solution is taken the total # of votes for the turd, and divide them in half. Biden voters aren't going to be voting twice, so full count for Biden.
Or Congress could make sure that, due to Putin's turd and Putin's AG stooge Barr, EVERYONE knows that NO TOTALS will be released for a week so that ALL mail in ballots can be logged in and compared to voter polls. Any name that shows up on a voter poll has the mail in ballot tossed in the trash. Time consuming, while the turd is screaming non-stop RIG, RIG, RIG, but it would be reasonably accurate.
Just a thought.

(6,254 posts)China or Russia can make up millions of fake ballots and mail them in. We do not have one uniform National ballot for President. There are thousands. of different ballots made up for state, local and federal elections. Different size ballots, different paper etc. Trump's claim of fake ballots is simply bullshit and should be called out.

(19,201 posts)the sight of Barr triggers my gag reflex, just the same as Trump does. Trump still triggers that 'murderous rage' reflex in me though, and he's the sole owner of that reaction, at least at this point in time. Barr is getting close to it though.

(11,588 posts)If there are people that listen to them (and there are) and vote twice they will use those many examples to say there is evidence of massive fraud--even if those who heard and obeyed voted for Trump.
They then will question--probably halt the whole tabulation and results.
Possible?

(2,626 posts)and voted twice, he'll call "Fraud and Rigged election", blame it on the Dems, and we'll watch his devotees and enablers back up his claims.

(8,835 posts)Doing a legitimate/legal re-count, checking the vote, when the US Supreme Court illegally intervened and made them stop???????
I remember that several major universities studied the Florida voting and votes and concluded that had the re-count been done, that Gore would have won the election.
If you think the Republicans were corrupt in 2000, the RepubliCONs of 2020 are a thousand times worse.
Katie Bar The Door.....................
Maybe all the Republican States will be ordered by their governors not to check for double voting???????
I think of all the possible ways the RepubliCONs can screw with this election to allow them to corruptly win, and you can bet your sweet asses that they have already thought of them and many more........
They are one millimeter away from their Corporate Fascist Tyranny. I think that they are going to do anything and everything to guarantee shoving that dictatorship through..........
