Election officials across the country are criticizing President Trump for continuing to encourage supporters to vote twice in the upcoming election — once by mail and again in person — to test the system. Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey tweeted, “It is illegal to vote twice. It is also easy to get caught. That’s like paying your taxes with Monopoly money.” However, Attorney General William Barr refused to criticize the president’s remarks during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN.

Attorney General William Barr: “He’s trying to make the point that the ability to monitor this system is not good. And if it was so good, if you tried to vote a second time, you would be caught, if you voted in person and there was” —

Wolf Blitzer: “That would be illegal if they did that. If somebody mailed in a ballot and then actually showed up to vote in person, that would be illegal.”

Attorney General William Barr: “I don’t know what the law in the particular state says.”

Wolf Blitzer: “You can’t vote twice.”

Attorney General William Barr: “Well, I don’t know what the law in the particular state says.”
