Trump Wins North Carolina: Projection

[historyb]

President Donald Trump won the state of North Carolina in the 2020 election, according to a new projection.

Decision Desk on Tuesday projected that Trump has won the state and its 15 electoral votes.

The organization also projected Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) has beaten Democrat challenger Cal Cunningham, which would give Republicans 49 seats in the 100-member body with three races left uncalled or in runoffs.

Four people I know from NC are saying they voted in person but they checked later and their vote was not recorded. Another coworker of theirs also voted in person and his vote counted, so I don't think it was a mistake on their part.

Trump might not have intended to tell voters in NC to vote twice to test the system, but it sounded that way. He said, “Let them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system’s as good as they say it is, then obviously they won’t be able to vote. If it isn’t tabulated, they’ll be able to vote. That’s the way it is. And that’s what they should do." He later retracted his remark after the negative public reaction to his comment and the North Carolina State Board of Elections issued a statement warning voters that voting twice with intent to commit a fraud to register or vote at more than one precinct or more than one time is a felony. In the released statement, Karen Brinson Bell (executive director of the North Carolina State Board of Elections), wrote "Attempting to vote twice in an election or soliciting someone to do so also is a violation of North Carolina law."

Trump's alleged suggestion for NC voters to vote twice was disconcerting enough to cause the North Carolina State Board of Elections to release a statement to dispute him. I listened to his statement in the videos I'm including and it does sound like he's encouraging NC voters to vote twice.

The system is working as intended, to defraud the American voter and steal the election if it can't be won fairly.
