Phase 4 Relief Package Brings Another Hurdle: Democrats’ Vote-by-Mail

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Democrats and Republicans have yet to formally reveal their priorities for the phase 4 pandemic relief legislation, but there have been hints about infrastructure from the right and funding for vote-by-mail from the left.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said infrastructure will need to wait as funding for things like vote-by-mail is more pressing.

Democrats say vote-by-mail will allow more people to actively participate in the democratic process, but those against say it leads to fraud and weakens the integrity of the voting system.

This issue has already played out in the Wisconsin primary legal battle. The judgment in that case did not allow a change to vote-by-mail or change to the date of the state’s primary.

Democrats argue that during the pandemic, voters risk getting infected at polling places, which would likely lead to low voter turnout. Republicans say that precautions can be taken to lessen the risk and that it is imperative to keep the integrity of the election system intact even during emergencies.

In the $2 trillion, phase 3 coronavirus relief package, congress allocated $400 million for election safety measures, which could include vote-by-mail initiatives.

Trump should walk away.

“Ideally I’d leave the country closed a bit longer for health reasons. But since Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats insist on playing games with the aid money people need to survive that I have no option but to open the country now.”

Please, no more “relief” bills, we won’t survive any more “help” from this Congress.

Veni, vidi, veto!

No ID required for voting, now voting by mail. If this keeps up it'll be like an election in Iraq where Saddam Hussein got 100% of the vote.

Democrats are going all in on the election fraud scheme. If it's allowed to become entrenched we might as well just shut down voting in the U.S. and let the democrat politburo appoint our leaders, we'll never have a free election again.

“We had $400 million to promote voting by mail, direct mail, all of that. However, it was not nearly enough, we need at least five times that much in order to really meet the needs to protect the integrity of our election critical infrastructure, as well as to promote voting by mail. It is absolutely essential,” Pelosi said

Nutcase nan is demanding another 2 BILLION for fraud-by-mail.

They already got 400 million.

2.4 Billion?

They will be buying their own printing press for each State and flood the election with ballots.

PDJT needs to stomp this down hard.

Just postpone the election. Watch how fast this virus goes away.😝

If vote-by-mail gets through to signing then the whole Bill has become the worst sort of Trojan Horse. It gives Democrats all future elections.

I say F THE RATS!

How many forking phases will there be? America is screwed. The sheep handed her over to the medical marxists without even a whimper.

And we are FAR outnumbered by sheep!

[Mr Fuji]

That’s definitely the truth. We need to fight tooth and nail to defeat the voting by mail crap. It should be no ID, no vote.

[arthurus]

Ideally, vote only on voting day at the designated polling place. No absentee ballots. Positive ID. No same day registering. Military installations should have their own polling places with the soldiers registered to them.

Veto the damn bill if it passes with this crap, Mr. President!
