Trump, skeptical of mail-in balloting, encourages voting more than once if necessary

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump is not letting up on his claims that the election could be rigged against him.
During a rally in Greeley, Colorado, on Sunday evening, Trump opened the event expressing skepticism of mail-in ballots in the state. He encouraged people to get a new ballot, even if they have already sent one in, and vote again.

"Who has sent their ballots in? And do you think those ballots are properly counted?" Trump asked the audience, to which they replied "No!"
Trump continued by expressing his skepticism and telling supporters to go get new ballots to ensure their vote is counted.
"If you go to university center, they'll give you a new ballot, they'll void your old ballot, in some places they do that four or five times, so by tomorrow, almost everyone will have their new ballots in."

And he calls the election rigged against him? This coming from a guy telling his supporters to cheat at the polls!

He cheats so he thinks everyone else cheats too. Now he's encouraging his supporters to cheat. Chances are if they submit multiple ballots they will all be voided. Nice going Don.
