With Election Day less than a week away and poll numbers not favoring the President, Donald Trump is reaching for votes…even ones already cast.
Trump claimed—without evidence—that a large number of voters want to change their votes in his favor.
He said in a tweet:
"CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE? This refers changing it to me."
He added:
"The answer in most states is YES."
Strongly Trending (Google) since immediately after the second debate is CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE? This refers changing it to me. The answer in most states is YES. Go do it. Most important Election of your life!

The answer in most states is a resounding NO.
According to PolitiFact there are only a few states where this is possible and each state has its own deadline for such a change in an absentee ballot.
Minnesota's deadline, for example, has already passed. Attempting to change your vote outside of these specific instances can be considered voting twice which is illegal.
President Trump has faced a pandemic death toll of over 225,000 people, a shattered economy, protests and impeachment this past year. He is currently behind Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the polls.
The President has made numerous unsubstantiated claims concerning the election.
We have made tremendous progress with the China Virus, but the Fake News refuses to talk about it this close to the Election. COVID, COVID, COVID is being used by them, in total coordination, in order to change our great early election numbers.Should be an election law violation!

Social media users were not buying the President's latest claims however.
Fake google 'trending': the last throw of the dice by a desperate man 😳

You over estimate yourself. With each passing day, you prove to be more incompetent, with Republicans jumping ship. If people wish to change their vote, it's because they finally see that Biden will steer this country back on course.

Trump voting procedure:
* Vote twice (once in person, once by mail).
* Vote from a state you don't actually live in.
* Vote from a business address that can't legally be your residence.
* Change your vote after the fact.
* Complain endlessly about voting fraud.

#Trump encourages people who've already voted to change their vote to him - revoting. Massive opp for double voting. Reverse the roles and he would scream bloody murder.

Actually, I've heard from lots of people who supported you on 2016 who want to change their vote and get the last four years of their life back.

Again, if you vote for @JoeBiden and you're not happy with his administration, you KNOW we can vote him out in four years & vote to change the House in two years.
If Donald Trump is re-elected, we don't know if we'll ever have an election again.
No joke#VOTE
