He said this in North Carolina where it is a felony to induce others to vote more than once:§ 163-275. Certain acts declared felonies. Any person who shall, in connection with any primary, general or special election held in this State, do any of the acts or things declared in this section to be unlawful, shall be guilty of a Class I felony. It shall be unlawful: - For any person with intent to commit a fraud to register or vote at more than one precinct or more than one time, or to induce another to do so, in the same primary or election, or to vote illegally at any primary or election;https://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/ByChapter/Chapter_163.html If a Democratic candidate came out and said that the conservative media and Trumpists would lose their absolute minds over it. And here we have the President of the US encouraging people to vote twice.

There is no evidence at all of widespread systemic voter fraud by mail in. None. In fact there is more evidence that of what voter fraud does occur (which is very low) it is in person voting: people showing up twice to vote by going to different polling stations or voter impersonation etc.https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2020/06/02/low-rates-of-fraud-in-vote-by-mail-states-show-the-benefits-outweigh-the-risks/ I presume from your above post that you think it is perfectly acceptable for the President of the United States to encourage people to commit voter fraud? Isn't he the Law & Order President. Encouraging people to break the law doesn't tally with that does it.
