The Next Coronavirus Bill Is Democrats’ Last Chance to Ensure a Fair Election

As House Democrats set to work on the next round of economic relief legislation, they face a more urgent choice than they seem to realize. If they send that bill to President Trump without measures guaranteeing voting rights during the pandemic, they are signing a death warrant for the 2020 election.

A vision of the future sits before us in Wisconsin. The coronavirus has devastated in-person voting. Due to a shortage of poll volunteers willing to risk their lives, 175 of Milwaukee’s 180 voting locations will be closed. Voting clerks have run short of envelopes needed to process the surge in absentee ballots, thousands of voters have yet to receive the ballot they requested, and even many voters who can obtain an absentee ballot will be excluded by rules requiring witness signatures (which are difficult to obtain during a quarantine) and voter ID (which is impossible to find.)

The state’s Republicans have adamantly opposed either delaying the election or expanding mail voting options. “Hundreds of thousands of workers are going to their jobs every day, serving in essential roles in our society. There’s no question that an election is just as important as getting takeout food,” insisted the state legislature’s Republican leaders. The comparison is fatuous. People get food because they need it to survive. They are far less likely to venture out to a polling location, where they are forced to wait in absurdly long lines at the risk of their health for a symbolic affirmation of civic duty that gives them no concrete benefit.

Put voting booths in front of Wal-Marts and grocery stores. Problem solved.

Maximize voter fraud.

Motor voter

Sanctuary city and state IDs

Mail in ballots

"The Next Coronavirus Bill Is Democrats’ Last Chance to Ensure a Fair Election"

Huh? The entire statement is a contradiction of words against each other.

[Da Coyote]

What a bunch of excrement.
When are we going to rise up against these cheating, vote buying vermin?
Sooner or later, it’ll have to happen.
And it will not be pretty.

So now we know what the Amazon Compost's headline will be the day after Election Day:

TRUMP STEALS ELECTION FROM A DISGUSTED NATION

[Rurudyne]

“Fair” means let them engage in endless corruption and fraud to steal it.

[odawg]

“...and voter ID (which is impossible to find.)”

People in Wisconsin don’t have drivers license?

[jimfree]

Hmmmm. Sounds like a bunch of Chait.

[Howie66]

“Fair” is just another 4 letter word, beginning with “F”.

[ronnie raygun]

They want a fool proof voter fraud scheme

From the article:

Voting clerks have run short of envelopes needed to process the surge in absentee ballots, thousands of voters have yet to receive the ballot they requested, and even many voters who can obtain an absentee ballot will be excluded by rules requiring witness signatures (which are difficult to obtain during a quarantine) and voter ID (which is impossible to find.)

All of which makes voter fraud easier to commit. What would be wrong with allowing into the voting place only the number of voters equal to the number of voting machines? Practice social distancing.

If we can do this at Wal*Mart, surely it can be done at a voting place.

On second thought, given that we're dealing with rats, maybe not.

[Rurudyne]

“Bend” and “over” are also 4 letter words.

[TLI]

F-A-I-R

That is an odd way to spell fraud.

[Salman]

This is why they want to continue the crisis until November.

[doorgunner69]

Fair = only democrats elected.

[Agatsu77]

Oh my God!! Are they really trying to pull this off? Ha ha ha

[gibsonguy]

Get that veto pen ready Mr President.
