Musician and entrepreneur Deonis Cook recently posted on Threads claiming that Donald Trump hinted that one vote counted as three votes for Republicans and the midterm election was being rigged.“Trump said when you select one, it votes 3 times for the Republican. THEY ARE RIGGING THE ELECTION RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR FACES!!!! THAT’S WHY IT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T CARE TO DEBATE OR EVEN CHALLENGE THEIR OPPONENTS!!!” Cook wrote.Deonis Cook reacts to Trump's 'fake' post about the midterm election.

The Truth Social image circulating online is a doctored version of his original post with the sentence:“THANKS TO THE GREAT ELON MUSK, EVERY REPUBLICAN VOTE COUNTS AS 3 VOTES!”What Trump originally posted on Truth Social read:“Republicans must WIN the 2026 Midterm Elections, and we must use every appropriate tool – Whether you vote early, absentee, by mail, or in-person, we must ‘swamp’ the Radical Left Dummods with massive turnout! SO IMPORTANT – PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President Donald J. Trump.”The U.S. President also shared a link to swampthevoteusa.com/ underneath his post.Meanwhile, reports of ballot machines flipping votes have emerged from across Tennessee. According to WSMV, voters in Williamson County reported they had to change votes multiple times before they found the candidate they were looking for and pressed the ‘CAST VOTE’ button.More about vote switching reports amid ongoing midterm electionEarly voters in Williamson County, Tennessee, told reporters outside different polling booths that the electronic voting machines registered a different candidate than they selected and that they had to try multiple times to correct it.Last week, an elderly woman, Jackie Herrud, told WSMV: “I kept punching for the Democrat, Jerri Green, and it kept punching back to Marsha Blackburn. It just really irritated me, and then I was very nervous about making sure that my vote was going to be counted right.”Herrud voted at the Longview Recreation Center in Spring Hill, Williamson County. She claimed poll workers received similar complaints not just at her booth but across the county.Another voter named Toni Fitzgerald stood at a different location in Williamson County and said:“You try to push the button for the candidate that you’re selecting, and it goes to another candidate. I think about older people or the elderly that are in the booth that are trying to vote. They could make that mistake. Make sure you triple-check, quadruple-check to make sure that you’re selecting the right candidate.”Singer, songwriter, and activist Stella Parton also wrote of a similar issue on Facebook.“In Tennessee last week at the Hermitage Library where I voted, I had to go back three times and correct my vote because it kept defaulting to Marsha Blackburn. I would never vote for her for anything. I'm putting this out here because when we vote, we take it seriously, but we try not to hold up the long lines. Do it anyway. Don't let them rig this election,” Parton stated.Dolly Parton’s sister added in the comment section:“And we have people asking why we're so angry. I'm more frightened and frustrated than angry.”The Secretary of State’s office told media outlets that they received only one complaint regarding EVM issues among 400,000 early voters in the ongoing midterm election cycle. The office directed voters to pay attention while voting, alert poll officials in case of any problem, and review the screen multiple times and also record their votes on paper ballots before pressing the button.Similar complaints have also surfaced in other states such as Texas, Florida, and Ohio.
