Eric Holder: Coronavirus is 'an opportunity’ to permanently change US voting system

Former President Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder acknowledged that he sees the coronavirus as “an opportunity” to change the way U.S. citizens vote forever.

“Coronavirus gives us an opportunity to revamp our electoral system so that it permanently becomes more inclusive and becomes easier for the American people to access,” Holder told Time magazine.

Holder went on to say that he supports shifting toward a system with more mail-in ballots.

“There has to be a sea change in our thinking there,” he said when asked how important he thinks mail-in ballots will be going forward. “Allow people to access their primary American right by voting at home. It’s not as if this is an untried concept. Oregon has been doing this for years. But we have to make sure that we’re being sensitive to the needs of poor communities and communities of color by doing things like having prepaid postage on envelopes. Construct a system so that you’ve got expanded in-person voting, you’ve got expanded at-home voting and expanded no-excuse absentee vote-at-home measures.

Holder said he believes that these changes during the coronavirus crisis will help “enhance our democracy.”

Democrats across the country have been pushing for increased mail-in voting during the coronavirus crisis despite reports over the past week suggesting over 28 million mail-in ballots have been lost in the past 10 years and that thousands of ineligible voters could possibly receive mail-in ballots, including many dead people.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on his show this week he believes these efforts to push mail-in voting are part of a broader effort on behalf of Democrats to “encourage” voter fraud to win elections.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a sentiment similar to Holder’s claim that increased mail-in voting is a positive step forward for democracy.

House Majority Whip Rep. Jim Clyburn joined Holder in expressing the opinion that the coronavirus provides political opportunities in a conference call in March, when he reportedly referred to the coronavirus relief package as a “tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”

Eric Holder speaks for our foreign enemies.

[neverevergiveup]

He’s a hateful and racist person. He, as much as any attorney general ever, is deserving of conviction and incarceration.

[Jane Long]

His ChiCom made mask slipped.

Liberal mindset: When there’s a crisis in this country, and people are dealing with money, health, and personal issues, it’s the perfect time to commit under-handed, slippery actions to manipulate, and change whatever we can, in order to gain more power, and advantage, within the Democrat party. Screw the electorate, because they don’t matter anyhow.

[cherry]

he speaks for the fearpers too....or anyone who has carelessly supported this lockdown due to irrational fear....

they handed our freedom over on a silver platter....

It’s the two B’s Mr Gun Runner.

If the Ballot box is broken...

The Bullet box is on standby.

PS, the mail box is NOT a ballot box.

Let's start with mass purge of dead people and fraudulently voting seniors (and senors and senoritas) from the voting rolls.

Then mass arrests of Democrats for voter fraud, with lifetime bans on voting.

Then institute photo voter ID, paper ballots, and purple fingers.

It’s way past time to start locking up the criminals of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

This man ran guns to the Mexican cartels to undermine the 2nd Amendment in this country (which he hates)

[Irish Eyes]

Poor communities and communities of color DO have ID. They could not get their handouts without them.

Sadly, we will never be able to punish China sufficiently for what they have unleashed on this planet and the US. Trump was punishing them hard via trade when COVID-19 magically reared its ugly head. China brought the US and much of the planet on their knees. They could invade Taiwan tomorrow, and not a damn thing will be done about it. Certainly nothing that would reverse such action.

God can reboot the planet at any time, as far as I am concerned.

If you find it too inconvenient to stand in line on election day with a photo ID in hand, then just don’t vote. Simple.

Vote by facebook poll. Or twitter. Makes as much sense. The deciding fraction of voters is ignorant AT BEST. Universal suffrage is a bad thing.

The United States Postal System has changed over the years. In the past, the USPS delivered mail to each household, and did it with some degree of reliability. In my lifetime, I watched the service get worse and worse. It is no longer reliable.

How can we trust the USPS to handle ballots properly, when it can't handle utility bills properly?

USPS delivers advertising circulars and packages. If they deliver first-class mail, it's almost as an afterthought.

Remember the tubs of Wisconsin absentee ballots? Is that election fraud, or "clerical error"?

[DoughtyOne]

Almost as dumb and corrupt as the president he served under.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Of course..the only way for commies to win is to steal elections..mail in voting, massive voter fraud, 1 person votes 100 times for a Dem..cats vote, dogs vote, fish vote

[lgjhn23]

That POS belongs in GITMO for domestic terrorism....
He might find it wise to keep his commie pie-hole SHUT.

Poor communities and communities of color DO have ID. They could not get their handouts without them.

Bingo!!!

Thank you for pointing out what is hardly ever mentioned. Poor minorities in this country DO universally have ID. If they have an EBT card, and 99.9% of them do, then they have ID so the claim that requiring an ID to vote disenfranchises them is patently false. The ONLY reason someone would ever be against requiring an ID to vote is because they hope to forment voter fraud, there is NO other reason.
