Former President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to potential illegal voters in the upcoming 2024 election.
In a recent post on his Truth Social platform, Trump declared that those who cast illegal votes would face imprisonment, emphasizing his commitment to election integrity.
According to Newsmax, Trump's message was concise and direct: "IF YOU VOTE ILLEGALLY, YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL." This statement aligns with his recent focus on election security and his claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election despite a lack of substantial evidence to support these allegations.
The former president's recent social media posts reflect his ongoing concern about election security. Earlier in the week, Trump shared a more detailed message on Truth Social, warning of close scrutiny on the 2024 election process. He emphasized his intention to prosecute those involved in what he perceives as election cheating.
Trump's message indicated that he, along with attorneys and legal scholars, would be closely monitoring the "Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election."
He cited his experience from the 2020 election as a reason for this heightened vigilance, referring to alleged "Cheating and Skullduggery" by Democrats.
In his Truth Social post, Trump outlined potential consequences for those he believes might engage in election fraud. He promised that upon winning the election, individuals involved in cheating would face prosecution and potentially long-term prison sentences.
Trump's warnings extend beyond just illegal voters. In his social media message, he specifically mentioned that legal exposure could apply to lawyers, political operatives, donors, and election officials involved in what he terms "unscrupulous behavior."
Trump stated:
CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again.
In addition to his focus on election integrity, Trump has recently addressed concerns about illegal immigrants potentially gaining voting rights. During a speech at the Economic Club of New York, he proposed banning mortgages for illegal immigrants, citing the impact of immigration on housing costs.
Trump's stance on this issue aligns with comments made by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who told Newsmax in June that the possibility of illegal immigrants becoming voters is "true, not a conspiracy theory." Johnson highlighted concerns about the ease of voter registration and the lack of requirements for proof of citizenship.
Johnson explained the process, stating that due to motor voter registration laws, individuals can easily sign up to vote by filling out a simple form and checking a box declaring U.S. citizenship. He pointed out that under current federal law, states are prohibited from requiring proof of citizenship, which he views as a "serious threat."
Donald Trump's recent statements on Truth Social have reiterated his stance on election integrity and voter fraud. The former president has promised strict legal consequences for those involved in illegal voting or election manipulation. These statements, along with his broader comments on immigration and voting rights, continue to shape the political discourse around election security and voter confidence as the 2024 presidential race gains momentum.
