Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., pushed mail-in voting as a way to counter alleged Republican attempts to suppress minority votes.
“It's really a great system," Merkley said, referring to mail-in voting. "One of those valuable things, which will become more and more important is it stops so many forms of voter suppression and voter intimidation. The Republicans are trying to stop poor people from voting, they’re trying to stop college students from voting, people of color from voting, Indian tribes from voting."
He made those comments during a Tuesday interview with Sirius XM host Dean Obeidallah. Merkley added that mail-in balloting prevents Republicans from engaging in "tricks," like long wait times, that would suppress the vote.

People “of color” are not stupid. They are able to grocery shop. Fuel their car. Visit the mall. Parks. Ball games. Any number of things that are as challenging as casting a vote at their local precinct.
Democrat leadership and their MediaPAC are RACIST!
If people can wait in line at a liquor store during a pandemic...
Perfect picture!
Mail in voting will end the country as founded. They know this. It will be all over. Pennsylvania has it now. Trump needs Pa. but he will not get Pa. with mail in voting. Forget the Senate also. The DNC may just sweep it all.
Hi, how ironic! LA County has been ordered to purge 1.5 MILLION fraudulent and/or inactive registrations and they haven’t yet done it! These pukes should be in PRISON! And of course, Newscum has dictated that the November Election will be ALL MAIL-IN. The FRAUD continues
The same song over and over gets old.
People of Color can’t vote like Asian Americans or Latino Americans? Sounds racist, Dems.
African americans don’t know how to walk?
