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.

This Vote by Mail push is all about the Democrat stealing of elections through Ballot Harvesting. Send the precinct workers door to door and “help” those poor voters who haven’t sent their ballots in for recording.
Fixed it for you.
Already know. We congregate around the campfire and smokum peace pipe.
And we see clearly their intentions to try to keep the lockdowns going through November.
Which is the only way this crap could be made relevant.
Gee, so the lying congresswoman is going to try to help criminals steal an American election.
Why does Mass continually support this horrible harridan?
Any kind of voting can be rigged, but the hardest is to have balloting with ID, in person, with paper trail.
Online balloting would be the easiest to rig.
“Vote early and forever”
HELL NO is right!
The fake squaw needs to get lost.
So...that is lieawatha’s plan? PostPaid return envelopes and $4billion to the States?
Sounds like libturds plotting to steal a national election, like they failed to do in 2016.
Voter ID requirements are important, but most voter fraud takes place in back rooms at the election board.
Yeah, it becoming kinda obvious who’s not gonna accept the outcome of the election when it’s not the way they want.
Only Chief can make Big Medicine.
Squaw sad, maybe quit Senate and go back to Navahavard Reservation.
Hey Liz traitors don’t get to participate in elections. Get used to what we’re telling you!
You want to see how vote by mail work, look at Washington state past elections. Any election that a R wins on election day is turned to D by the counting of votes in the WEEKS following!!
Hell no, vote by mail should be illegal!!
Absentee ballots should be highly restricted also, to only the military who are over seas.
As for the billions, she’ll volunteer to distribute the dough for Massachusetts. Cayman Islands banks on full alert.
More likely he donates vast amounts of money to grassroots activism organizations that he supports single-handedly, with the suggestion to purchase several hundred copiers and distribute the “words” of fear and hatred. 8>)
