North Carolina’s top elections official warned voters against trying to vote twice after President Donald Trump encouraged people who mail in their ballots for November’s election to also go to the polls on Election Day.
Karen Brinson Bell, the executive director of North Carolina State Board of Elections, issued a long statement on Thursday warning that “it is illegal to vote twice in an election” and asked mail-in voters to verify their ballot was received without showing up in person on Nov. 3.
