US President Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday that people in the state of North Carolina should vote twice in the November election, once in person and once by mail, although doing so is a crime.
"Let them send it in and let them go vote," Trump said in an interview with WECT-TV in Wilmington, North Carolina, when asked about the security of mail-in votes."And if the system is as good as they say it is then obviously they won't be able to vote" in person."President Trump outrageously encouraged" North Carolinians"to break the law in order to help him sow chaos in our election." state Attorney General Josh Stein said in a tweet.
Barr said mail-in ballots for the Nov. 3 election could be vulnerable to fraud, echoing an argument Trump has made to denounce the use of voting by mail. Voting by mail is not new in the United States - nearly one in four voters cast presidential ballots in 2016 that way.
