US President Donald Trump on Thursday renewed his call for supporters to try to vote twice on November 3, claiming that only this way can they be sure their ballot is counted.
Trump said Americans should first try to vote by mail, if that option is offered in their state, then also go to the polling station on election day to check that their ballot has been counted -- and, if not, vote again.It was the latest assault by Trump on the credibility of mail-in voting, which is being rapidly expanded across the country in response to fears of Covid-19 contagion for voters going in person to polling stations.
"If you get the unsolicited ballots, send it in, and then go -- make sure it counted. And if it doesn't tabulate, you vote," he said. "So, send it in early, and then go and vote." "Soliciting someone to do so also is a violation of North Carolina law," the board's director, Karen Brinson Bell, added.However, experts warn that the country faces a confusing and potentially tense aftermath of the voting on November 3, due to the unusual circumstances.
