Already vote? Change it: prez

- Mark Moore

President Trump on Tuesday urged Americans who have already cast their ballot to change their vote for him after the term began trending on Google.

“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,” Trump tweeted.

The term “change my vote” registered a strong uptick on Google Trends on Oct. 24 after The Post published its exposé about former Vice President Joe Biden’s alleged involvemen­t in Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine and China. It also climbed during the final presidenti­al debate last Thursday.

The Google searches for “change my vote” had the most interest in Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Minnesota and Pennsylvan­ia.

People who searched “change my vote” also searched for “Hunter Biden” and Hunter Biden-related queries, according to Google.

An estimated 65 million people have already cast their ballots ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

Some states allow voters who have changed their minds to submit a new ballot, Matthew Weil, director of the Election Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, told Newsy.

That includes New York, at least for those who mailed in an absentee ballot.

“Even if you request or cast and return an absentee ballot, you may still go to the polls and vote in person,” the state Board of Elections says.

In Arizona, Florida, Idaho and Minnesota, residents who voted by mail can vote with a provisiona­l ballot on Election Day.

In Pennsylvan­ia, voters can bring their mail-in or absentee ballot with them to the poll to be voided or sign a declaratio­n to be able to vote on Nov. 3.
