Donald Trump wants his Colorado supporters to be suspicious of their state’s new vote-by-mail system … in a typically weird, sketchy way:
Trump then asked, “When you send your ballot in, do you think it’s properly counted?” The crowd was quiet for a second before people realized that the correct answer was “No!”
“You can check on your ballot to make sure it’s counted properly,” Trump said. “You can go to [Greeley voting location] University Center and they’ll give you a ballot, a new ballot. They’ll void your old ballot and give you a new ballot. And you can go out and make sure it gets in,” Trump said.
“In some places, they probably do that four or five times, but we don’t do that,” he added.
Oh. “We don’t do that.” Except when we do.
Look, if Trump wants to suppress his own supporters’ votes by pushing them to vote twice, that’s his call. But even with all the “they’ll void your old ballot” and “we don’t do that,” can you imagine the Trump camp’s response if a Democrat was urging supporters who’d voted by mail to go vote in person, just in case?
