Warren releases plan to secure elections during coronavirus pandemic
The Hill ^ | 04 07 2020 | Maggie Miller

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released a plan Tuesday intended to secure elections during the coronavirus pandemic through mail-in voting and increasing online voter registration.

The plan, first reported by Mother Jones, calls on states to ensure every eligible American has the ability to vote by mail, sending voters a ballot with pre-paid postage.

Warren urged Congress to pass a bill proposed by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) last month intended to ensure mail-in voting during the pandemic.

Warren also advocated for Congress to send states $4 billion to address election needs, a major increase from the $400 million appropriated by Congress in March as part of the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package. Warren described the current amount available to states for elections during the coronavirus pandemic as a “fraction” of what was needed.

“Protecting our elections during this public health emergency will require billions in funding, not millions,” Warren wrote.

Other issues Warren advocated for included giving the U.S. Postal Service funding to enable it to continue operations through the summer, taking steps to counter disinformation around elections, continuing to guard against foreign interference and compensating every poll worker with hazard pay.

Warren strongly criticized Republicans for blocking efforts to move to mail-in voting, describing their actions as “an undemocratic power grab” that would “disenfranchise millions.”

Now we see why Democrats wanted money to keep the postal service up and running.

They want mail-in rather than online. I guess they haven't figured out how to rig online voting in a way it can't be detected.

Yep and their buds in the USPS could be very helpful.

Certain districts ballots would end up “lost” in the mail.

“American has the ability to vote by mail”

As we have been saying this is the end game and if they get we lose.

If you can get in line for groceries, you can get in line to vote.

Marxists/Democrats/collectivists/(including the mendacious Elizabeth Warren) just HATE free and fair elections.

For proof, one need only observe the deceit from the Dems' own primaries - - they can't even honor the votes from their own peeps.

Next up for the Dems? Super dels to further thwart the will of voting Dems.

How’s about tasking the Marines with contacting each voter to ascertain they are actually alive and then producing a photo ID that is cryptographically secured using block-chain....

That way each voter can check if their vote was cast and who it was cast for and no possibility of duplicate voting...

A small amount of fraud could still happen but no where near enough to swing an election.

After all, it is total election integrity and access that the dems want...lol

Surely that would satisfy them..right?

This is why we got to get the country going again several months before Nov election. Get the NFL season started on time and there is no excuse.

Also classic Dem voter is not going to be assertive enough to mail ballots in on there own, hence this will lead to massive fraud and a shooting civil war

sending voters a ballot with pre-paid postage

If they even send ONE ballot to an unauthorized voter than their candidate is in violation and must withdraw. I know from personal experience that voter rolls contain numerous people that cannot vote, lots of deceased people are never expunged.
