Trump claimed that North Carolina voters should "make sure your Ballot COUNTS" by visiting polling places to "see if it was COUNTED. North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein tweeted in response to the President, telling North Carolina residents: "Do NOT do what the President directs." Voters in North Carolina do not need to head to the polls to check whether their ballot has been counted. "Per the North Carolina State Board of Elections, voting twice in the state is illegal," a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement. Trump has repeatedly claimed in recent weeks, contrary to state election officials, that voters' mail-in ballots may not be counted.
