Nestled among the 12 titles and 880 pages of the $2.2 trillion “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020,” approved unanimously by the Senate late March 25, is a paragraph sending $400 million to state governments “to help prepare for the 2020 election.”
The provision’s senatorial proponents promise it will enable state election officials to increase the ability of citizens nationwide “to vote by mail, expand early voting and online registration, and increase the safety of voting in-person by providing additional voting facilities and more poll-workers,” according to a summary prepared by Democratic staff members of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
We’re well past a political solution. Hopefully more people will see this before we slip quietly away.
What elections? Don’t you know that Trump is going to cancel the fall election an declare himself president for life?
Trump never would’ve approved this without the knowledge that we will do the same.
Due to the severe Corona Virus situation, I’ve decided to postpone the November elections until 2024, and remain your president in order to shepherd you thru these hard times! Donald Trump
I’m guessing Nan will demand a postponed election in return for HER direct and immediate participation in the Presidency. Look for that.
“to vote by mail, expand early voting and online registration, and increase the safety of voting in-person by providing additional voting facilities and more poll-workers,”
All lefturd, progressive buzzwords. And, a direct capitulation to the dhimmicrap plans to defraud the American People, once again, of their votes.
Once again, the pubbies have caved. They simply do not understand what it means to be the majority...
“ They simply do not understand what it means to be the majority...”
And you simply do not understand that both parties are different sides of the same, dishonest, debased coin.
Early voting is an abomination.
I think this was taken out of the final bill.
Postpone the election and Pelosi is out of office come January 3rd. I don't think she wants that.
lets hope so!!!
Need to “make it rain” on the congresscritters!!

OH, I do understand that, antidisestablishment.
But, I also believe that the pubbies remain the lesser of the evils, for now.
