The Real Reason Democrats are Pushing for Mail-In Ballots
American Thinker.com ^ | August 4, 2020 | Brian C. Joondeph

Mail-in ballots are the latest talking point for Democrats and their media allies. They claim this will keep voters safe from the Wuhan virus, even though it is burning itself out quite nicely on its own.

The surges in cases we are seeing across the country means that more and more of the population have been exposed to the virus. The vast majority are not getting sick; in fact most don’t even know they are ill and they are getting tested due to potential exposure, for return to work, travel, or simply because the tests are widely available and free under most insurance plans.

Once the virus tears through a population, there are fewer left to infect, and it goes away. A summer surge in positive tests brings us closer to herd immunity and this will likely burn itself out by fall. Normal colds and seasonal flu may complicate things, but that’s another story.

The compassionate Democrats say it’s too dangerous to wait in line to vote. Yet it was fine for hundreds to wait in line for John Lewis’s funeral procession. Hypocrisy is on full display when it comes to the Chinese coronavirus.

The all-knowing, all-caring Dr. Anthony Fauci donned a large mask while standing all alone on the pitcher’s mound waiting to launch his ill-fated pitch closer to the dugout than home plate. Yet in the bleachers, he was yucking it up with some pals, forgetting all about masks and social distancing.

Aside from mail-in ballots being ripe for cheating, there are other more subtle forces at play here. CBS did their own vote-by-mail experiment and surprisingly, at least to CBS, discovered “potential problems” such as “3 percent of voters were effectively disenfranchised.” That could be enough to tip a close election.

I can’t stand the Democrats but have to admit they do fight like hell for their voters.

When was the last time Republican Retreaters pushed for anything?

In 2000, they spent weeks counting hanging chads because the election was so darn close.

3 percent margin of error is not acceptable. The fact that this entire idea is not rejected out of hand is pretty scary. The Bad Guys have plans and everybody knows it.

Its for their perks and sincerest. Their voters, if considered at all, are little more of an afterthought, if that.

The lawsuits and the chaos is going to be so big this November and onward, it will make the 2000 fiasco look like a picnic in the park

enh...this is the dynamic in process here

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/07/new-york-election-failure-mail-in-voting/614446/

they need nation-wide chaos so this can happen

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/laurence-tribe-nancy-pelosi-becomes-president-if-election-isnt-decided-by-jan-20

President Pelosi

This is why the Dems are unconcerned about running someone with rapidly advancing dementia...and could care less about who their VP candidate is.

To delay the election results and have the house make Nancy Pelosi President after January 20th.

What really strikes me about the “Pelosi option” is that the intention is to keep the office filled (by somebody) while the country sorts out a contested election.

But I get the sense that if Pelosi gets sworn in, she may see herself as a Dictator and just start making all kinds of changes. Who would stop her?

If that isn’t their intention at all, then delaying the results to get her into the White House on a very temporary basis is just utterly pointless. I think they want to enter unchartered waters so that they can seize unlimited power.

They won’t get/stay in power if they don’t give their base reasons to vote for them.

The RAT Party will lie, cheat and steal to get what they want. Now, they have a group of thugs to back up their BS. The RATs will all climb the same tree to tell a lie and when caught the MSM will defend them. The GOP is the biggest bunch of cowards you will ever find. They are the last group you want to defend you. The only thing they’re good at is pointing out the obvious. They pontificate and walk in circles, but when crap hits the fan and it’s time to fight, they are no where to be found. Here’s an example; Ted Cruz is on Fox this morning whining about mail in voting. Everyone in the free world knows the RATs will use it to win the election by cheating. But what is the GOP’s defense? Go on Fox and preach to the to the crowd. It’s us and our great President against the RATs, MSM and the cowardly GOP. This is our moment.

Any state policy that favors Democratic candidates discriminates against Republic candidates.

Democrats can easily ask urban apartment building residents to mail in their ballots every day.

The DC Uniparty would much rather have President Pelosi 01/20/21

They for sure have a raft of EO’s already written ...they could invite these guys in to quell the inevitable riots and local skirmishes that will commence

Once Democrats gain absolute power, from each according to ability will get remembered.
