(6,937 posts)the right and duty of administering elections. I doubt that any state will have forgotten to mention that voting twice in the same election is a no-no, nor left it out just because it is also Federal Law. States' Rights is because they don't trust the Feds.

(32,804 posts)If GOP voters use their mail-in ballot to vote, then that's the vote that gets registered. They can show up at the polls on election day, but they won't be allowed to vote a 2nd time. They'll get turned away because they have already voted.
This scheme of Chump's is simply going to do one thing - it will cause havoc at the polls on election day.
Nobody will be allowed to vote a 2nd time whether they are Repukes or Dems (or neither.) However the more screaming angry people there are at the polls on November 3rd, the harder it's going to be for people who didn't mail their votes. They'll have to wade through all this crazy shit and voting will take 3 times as long. Don't forget the main purpose of mail-in voting was to prevent this from happening.

(19,204 posts)the only good way to respond to such stupidity is ridicule. Trump hates to be ridiculed, and I imagine Barr seriously dislikes it as well. Bullies hate to be made fun of because it erodes their aura of invincibility.

(14,088 posts)We know Barr will not enforce the law in any case where that enforcement would damage Trump's political cause. Does that effectively give Barr the ability to overrride any federal law?

(14,487 posts)If the system recognizes that the voter has already voted, and does not allow them to cast a second ballot, have they broken a law by just attempting to vote twice?
I hope there is SOME repercussion for the idiots who will respond to Trump's idiotic call.

RALEIGH, N.C. The executive director of the North Carolina State Board of Elections reminded voters that it is illegal to vote twice in an election after President Donald Trump hinted at doing so while visiting Wilmington Wednesday ...
His statements are intended to promote wide-scale chaos and confusion, and would burden election officials who would be tasked with spoiling any absentee ballots cast by voters who heed his call and also vote in person, said Kristen Clarke, executive director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law ...
