Pelosi says Democrats will push for vote-by-mail in next coronavirus relief package

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Monday that Democrats will push for a vote-by-mail provision in Congress' next coronavirus relief package.

In an interview on MSNBC’s LIVE with Stephanie Ruhle, Pelosi said that it's important to protect the “life of our democracy” as the coronavirus crisis continues.

“In this next bill, we will be supporting vote by mail in a very important way -- we think it’s a health issue at this point,” Pelosi said.

Democrats have been for weeks pushing vote-by-mail ahead of the May and June primary contests— over a dozen of which had been postponed due to coronavirus— and as they look ahead to the November election.

President Donald Trump, however, opposes the idea and has urged Republicans to fight the effort.

A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that a majority of voters — 58 percent — are in favor of allowing voters nationwide to cast their ballots by mail.

It’s by mail is the only way this will work. What the GOP needs to do is push for security measures.

If people can “Social Distance” themselves at the supermarket, they can do it at the polling place.

The Democratic Party, including their voters, are communists and are attempting to destroy the Constitutional America. They probably have been working on millions of illegal voters and fake prefilled ballots ready to go if mail in is law.

This would mean the end of fair elections. Look at the Democrats’ record in Washington, Oregon and California.

No way this could ever be secured. If this democracy killing proposal ever reaches a Republican president’s desk, it must be vetoed.

Non starter.

Show me your “security” and I’ll show you a bureaucracy and DNC that will make it a joke.

The next relief package needs to be, “LET MY PEOPLE GO” And, screw the tin pot dictators that thought up this stupidity.

Did WI have a spike in virus cases after its in-person primary 3 weeks ago? No. This is the Democrats’ strategy for voter fraud through “ballot harvesting,” counting the needed number of votes that supposedly come in days after election day, as they did in CA in 2018.

It’s up to the states how presidential electors are picked.

I can get an absentee ballot here in Florida by simply asking.

And the republicrats will “compromise” saying “It’s the only way we could get the Phase 4 stimulus package passed.” I wonder what other infringements will be included in the pork wagon.

what the GOP needs to do - if it had principles, balls or knowledge of the Constitution is argue the presidential election is a series of 50 state elections (+DC). the Constitution explicitly leaves it to each state to decide how to award its Electors. The federal government has no business and no authority to be involved with state elections. that’s been the pubbies problem for decades...always arguing they know a better way to do what should not be done in the first place.

Pelosi’s dream of 100% mail-in ballots = FRAUD and Rat Ballot Stuffing. PDJT needs to snuff this puppy in the crib.

Three trillion dollars down the relief rabbit hole already.

No truly effective response plan
is in place. We are merely slowing the death rate.

If they do and Trump does not veto, I am done.

Why not an “Arm Wrestle”” to see who rules? Makes about as much sense.
