NORTH CAROLINA: Do NOT do what the President directs. To make sure your ballot COUNTS, sign and send it in EARLY. Then track it ONLINE with BALLOTTRAX. Do NOT vote twice (it’s a felony), or waste your time, or unnecessarily risk exposure to more people. https://northcarolina.ballottrax.net/?fbclid=IwAR2_zTMPDmbmQhdQK7Ir-_IPwy3Iw5Xut0bX4meqH1cCuFTHjd5GGsUl48E https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1304769412759724033
