   Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump escalated his efforts to   
   cast doubt on the integrity of the voting process, outright   
   encouraging supporters to vote twice in a test of election   
   security -- which would be illegal.   
      
   In his latest assault on mail-in balloting, Trump on Wednesday   
   suggested North Carolinians should try to vote in-person even   
   after casting mail-in ballots. Election authorities responded   
   Thursday by pointing out that trying to vote more than once   
   breaches state law and that it is a felony for a voter to intend   
   to commit fraud by casting more than one ballot.   
      
   "It is illegal to vote twice in an election," Karen Brinson   
   Bell, executive director of the North Carolina State Board of   
   Elections, said in a message to voters.   
      
   "Attempting to vote twice in an election or soliciting someone   
   to do so also is a violation of North Carolina law."   
      
   Trump's North Carolina furor was just one recent example of the   
   administration apparently seeking to tilt the electoral playing   
   field.   
      
   Previously, it emerged that his Department of Homeland Security   
   withheld an intelligence bulletin warning of a Russian plot to   
   spread misinformation about Joe Biden's health, which mirrored   
   the President's own attacks. The report, first revealed by ABC   
   News, followed the Director of National Intelligence's decision   
   to stop in-person lawmaker briefings about election interference   
   -- a move Democrats say could shield foreign actors who want to   
   help Trump.   
      
   RUSSIANS!  HILLARY!
