President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that voters in the state of North Carolina could check their mail-in vote by going to a polling place in person to check whether it had been tabulated. His comment was characterized by several media outlets as a form of encouragement for people to vote twice.
The president was asked by WECT-TV in Wilmington, North Carolina, “Six hundred thousand people could vote by absentee in this state, are you confident in that system?”
