He is not asking people to vote twice, as some have reported.
Expressing his ongoing concern with mail-in ballots, President Trump encouraged voters to make sure “your precious vote has been counted” by appearing at polling places to confirm their vote appears on the rolls.
In a Thursday morning tweet, he said, “Based on the massive number of Unsolicited & Solicited Ballots that will be sent to potential Voters for the upcoming 2020 Election, & in order for you to MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS & IS COUNTED, SIGN & MAIL IN your Ballot as EARLY as possible.”
He continued, “On Election Day, or Early Voting, go to your Polling Place to see whether or not your Mail In Vote has been Tabulated (Counted). If it has you will not be able to Vote & the Mail In System worked properly. If it has not been Counted, VOTE (which is a citizen’s right to do).”
President Trump concluded, “If your Mail In Ballot arrives after you Vote, which it should not, that Ballot will not be used or counted in that your vote has already been cast & tabulated. YOU ARE NOW ASSURED THAT YOUR PRECIOUS VOTE HAS BEEN COUNTED, it hasn’t been ‘lost, thrown out, or in any way destroyed.’ GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For U.S. officials endeavoring to safeguard the election.
- For those working to prevent mail-in ballot fraud that has been reported in some places, or other instances of ballots being misplaced, delivered late, or destroyed.
- That American citizens would take their voting privilege and duty seriously in this pivotal election.
- For state election officials to deal with integrity in the tabulating of every eligible vote cast.
