Don Trump Jr. encourages supporters to record ‘nonsense’ at the polls – Washington Examiner

Former President Donald Trump’s son, Don Trump Jr., rallied voters in North Carolina and told them to notice any “nonsense” that happens at the polls.

The younger Trump addressed the crowd the day before Election Day as voters make the choice between his father and Vice President Kamala Harris. Then he joined a chorus of voices calling for poll watchers to keep an eye on the election’s operations.

“So whatever you would do, if you woke up on Nov. 6 and Kamala Harris was president-elect, whatever you would do to stop that disaster for our country, for the world and for Western civilization, whatever you would do, do it now,” he said. “If you see nonsense, video it. Show it to everyone. Do not let them play their games. If we do, you guys, we will make America stronger than it’s ever been because we’ve assembled a team like nothing before.”

It is against North Carolina law to record any voter’s ballot or any voter once the person has entered the poll enclosure. Intimidation and harassment are also against the law.

By Monday, 4,465,548 voters had cast their ballots in North Carolina already, according to the State Election Board. This turnout of over half of the state’s registered voters obliterated the previous 2020 record of 3.6 million. The younger Trump praised the early voters despite his father’s former stance against mail-in ballots.

“It means you now have all day tomorrow to bring your friends to the polls. Do not do not take anything for granted, OK? Don’t look at the polls. Don’t listen to the media. Don’t fall for the psyops. You see this stuff, right? Half this stuff is designed to demoralize you so you stay at home. The other stuff is designed to make you overconfident, so you stay at home,” the former president’s son said. “If you show up, if you bring your friends, we win, and more importantly, we can end it tomorrow because if we win decisively, if we win decisively, we stop them from playing the games where they drag it out.”

Registered Republicans accounted for 33.3% of the early ballots, compared to the registered Democrats’ 32.4%. Unaffiliated voters accounted for another 33.6%. These ballots have been shared in nearly equal parts since early voting began on Oct. 17. Democrats typically beat out Republicans 80% to 20% in early voting, according to Republican National Committee Co-Chairwoman Lara Trump.

This turnout in North Carolina is notable, given the destruction from Hurricane Helene some weeks ago. The poor timing of the storm making landfall within the four weeks that the election began led some to believe that turnout would be worse in the devastated areas.
