Elizabeth Warren has unveiled a plan that calls for $4 billion in new elections funding, 30 days of required early voting and a mail-in-ballot to be sent to every registered voter in the U.S. 'The pandemic has exposed how vulnerable our voting system is.'

"The chaos and the attempt to suppress the vote in Wisconsin, should be a wake up call for the United States Congress," Sen. Warren told NPR."We need to act immediately.""The chaos and the attempt to suppress the vote in Wisconsin, should be a wake up call for the United States Congress," Sen. Warren told NPR."We need to act immediately.

"The chaos and the attempt to suppress the vote in Wisconsin, should be a wake up call for the United States Congress," said Sen. Warren, in an interview with NPR."We need to act immediately." Another common criticism is that Democrats, like Warren, are using the emergency as an excuse to push for reforms that they've long wanted. The sort of reforms where if implemented, according toElection experts have attempted to refute some of those sorts of accusations, noting that the voters that use vote-by-mail systems most effectively tend to be older voters and white voters – voters who traditionally skew more Republican.

michaelwhudson There's nothing 'radical' about mail-in voting during a pandemic that's killed more than 50,000 Americans in 3 months. Do better NPR

The issue isn’t “Failed Government”…but doing something about it. Mandate Democracy® is an engineered, tech-based Democratic Republic created to shackle “Representatives” to actually “Represent.” Imagine conducting i-Voting Referenda with the 2020 elections - Don’t imagine!

Not as long as Mitch M is in office 😩

She leads.

chopperhydee God bless you Ma'am ewarren SenWarren

SenWarren If people can go buy groceries, they can go vote. We're not going to support your attempts to commit more voter fraud.

SenWarren Hell no! No mail in voting!

MAIL IN VOTING ONLY

SenWarren Another instance where SenWarren just makes sense.

SenWarren Worth nothing!

SenWarren Nope. No vote by mail .

SenWarren Ask for ABSENTEE BALLOT! Massive fraud if every state goes to Mail In! ripeforfraud Election2020 DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

SenWarren So you are pushing all of the things that the left has wanted forever so that they can further manipulate balloting and registration. You continue to be a disgrace.

gee, I thought democrats were just dying to get rid of Trump? 😏

DianeMartyn ❤️Liz❤️

In other words massive voter fraud scheme

TeamWarren It's not radical. Three states vote entirely by mail already.

Liz is such a disgrace. Does she still claim to be Native?

SenWarren Vote by mail

Increase death benefit from social security from the $250 to $5000 Then make it permanent

I voted yesterday in Wisconsin and it was not an issue. I was safer than any one at the grocery store. You lie!

SenWarren

GO Elizabeth !!

She has never had a single bill pass either House.

SenWarren I love how the press is now paying attention to Warren. Where were ya’ll months ago

SenWarren except POTUS says if it hurts the GOP then he can make us choose

SenWarren And while we’re at it, do we really need the electoral college and political parties anymore?

SenWarren She needs to be VP.

SenWarren realDonaldTrump needs to RESIGN NOW. TrumpPandemic TrumpVirus

SenWarren Of course she wants a voting overhaul. And if, by far fetched chance she gets one, she’ll be calling for another one when Trump wins again.

SenWarren absentee voting is voting by mail. still legal in most states to do so. what warren is purposing is CHEATING. is that the only way you democrat's can ever win is by CHEATING. your PATHEIC, and WE THE PEOPLE ain't buying the BS your peddling.

SenWarren

SenWarren The national overhauling of voting in America should include making absolutely positively certain no one votes unless they are citizens. Picture ID and database recognition at site of voting. No dead people voting, ZERO fraud.

SenWarren Translation : The only way we Democrats can win in 2020 is by cheating via Vote-by-mail !!

SenWarren You and your f'n plans. No thanks.

SenWarren What could possibly go wrong when millions of ballots are mailed out to people who no longer exist? Harvesting ballots is another plan ripe with fraud. Happened in NC

SenWarren The vote in November should be the first nation wide main-in vote only. That would be easier on everyone.

SenWarren All of these great plans...and a McConnell led Senate. Vote out the Republican Senate so we can finally act like a nation. We need to DO SOMETHING. Republicans are blocking US. Vote them OUT.

SenWarren

SenWarren If it doesn’t include Ranked Choice Voting, it doesn’t go far enough. Cmon, SenWarren every opportunity not taken is a failed attempt to help the American people.

SenWarren Why Electronic Voting is Still a Bad Idea Why Electronic Voting is a BAD Idea - Computerphile

SenWarren Elizabeth Warren is a snake in sheep's clothing.....insults when she knows she can't be insulted...lies when she knows she can't be challenged...takes credit for producing plan after plan that will never be enacted....decries pac spending and accepts money from pacs....

How about making voting day a national holiday? How about Veterans Day? November 11th?

My president

Phew! Was just wondering where she has been. Just listened to the terrifying WI debacle so I'm all ears.

The whole idea of state representatives in a national congress/senate is so crazy. I can’t vote for or against 99% of the people who make decisions that affect me, regardless of where I live.

Any plan must start with IDs! Then let’s talk...

The only plan she doesn’t have is to win.

What? You mean a Democrat is using the pandemic as an excuse to get something they wanted all along? Shocking.

The political Judas Iscariot of our time! No thanks!

You go girl.

Hells yes! Thank you

ewarren National anything is fascism. Remember that.

Should've dropped out and endorsed Bernie then. Get back to the reservation!

Ok Pocahontas

All of a sudden voring needs to change? This is a dem attempt to swing anything in their favor cause the choice of Biden did nothing to help. SenWarren

She has all kinds of idiotic plans

Please Warren doesn’t care about the American people. She proved that when she did not endorse Bernie the only candidate who had the same values and issues she claimed to share. She is in politics to feed her ego. She is not a hero.

Warren’s ideas are out of touch, just like she is. Stop, be safe, distance, protect yourself, absentee. Overhaul how about paper ballots in card board boxes at drop off sites? CountTheSandwiches.

Some folks fought a war so they can pick they leaders. People can get outndueing cold and flu season.

kpjpsp it's not just because of Corona that we should be looking at voting. I need dual citizen living in Canada. Elections Canada takes a very different approach. They see their mandate is expanding voting to as many people as possible who are legally qualified to vote.

melpriceHB

New move from Dems is let bad stuff happen then act like it was a shame it did. Disappointing. Embarrassing. Wtf

You need to physical go and cast a vote. Otherwise many people have died don nothing. Freedom is never free and is worth dying for

How about a constitutional amendment for the right to vote? We have laws that describe who can't be discriminated against but no right to vote. vote right2vote SenWarren

We American Citizens Choose knowingly to exercise the right to vote in PERSON. Without fear. We should allow the ChineseVirus change our right to VOTE.

Elizabeth Warren is a leader this country needs.

This video I talks about the fact that coronavirus has been causing deaths since January before the public was given a chance to protect themselves. please subscribe for more similar content

Emphasis on the word: Americans.

Vote By Mail 2020 This should be the established preferred method.

Elizabeth Warren needs to remain in Quarantine until she can be replaced.

All you treehuggers must be pissed the DNC wants to kill trees instead of initiating a national voter registration system so that you can vote from your phones and computers.

Whenever I see this picture of Warren, I wonder why you post a picture that looks like grandpa had his finger over part of the lens.

SenWarren should have supported a national voter registration system if she actually gave a crap about the health of the legal American Citizen. TermLimits DrainTheSwamp

escecami And what is the presumptive nominee doing? Where has Biden been? He should have selected a VP by now and hold a press conference every day for an hour.

She and Tom Perez really think people aren't aware...

too little too late

It’s not constitutional for the federal government to tell states they have to do vote by mail, the GOP isn’t going to let it happen, and the supreme pizza court will prevent it too.

shes gross

I don’t think it’s rocket science to have a paper form in triplicate, one copy gets scanned and kept local , one goes to a secure location ( overseen by a neutral guardian ) and the voter keeps the other one

What Republican politicians say: 'Mail-in voting would increase voter fraud!' What Republican politicians mean: 'I don't want to file for unemployment!'

Nothing good will get past MoscowMitch

This leftist always trying to find any excuses to commit voting frauds .

Who?

Trump GOP with fight this diligently because they no longer will be able to suppress voters at the polls. Can you imagine what the turnout would be if vote by mail went into effect?

Her opinion is meaningless

Vote By Mail 2020 This should be the established preferred method.

Warren needs to STFU for a while. The anger towards her is so widespread that she has little political base right now.

OMG.... she is such a Terrorist wanting to make it easier for ALL Americans to vote...

And now that ewarren is on the case it will crash and burn spectacularly.

But it’s ok to force them to choose between two rapists? Ok, then. At least the DNC waited until after Bernie dropped out before it started pretending to care about voters’ lives.

Elizabeth Warren continues to be the best candidate for president.

Only way the dirty Dems will ever get in is too cheap, and she knows it

More nonsense.

Why couldn't she get the nomination?!

glenmazzara I REALLY wish ewarren was the nominee. She has the best ideas for our problems.

Unfortunately not with this Senate.

Yes! ewarren

YES and thank you ewarren

RoArquette Americans rule by voting who they demand honest leadership, abide guidance, and who will accept full responsibilities: Absentee Ballots deter dishonest, voting abuses and accurately elects public officials via voting ballots accounted; USA Democracy-USA is not a banana republic!

raveninak We all agree, it feels like we are in the dark ages...

GreggHoush 100% mail-in balloting. Paper trail FTW

GreggHoush Let's pay attention to this brilliant woman.

RoArquette Moscow Mitch will never allow it to see the floor

until the republican party is voted out of existence, america is doomed.

45isImpeached Because of course she did.

Would love to have her as a Supreme Court justice.

KeoniTylerPub I hope she gets a great job in cabinet. Sec of Commerce.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Warren has been missing in the Senate? Where was she on this prior to COVID19.

She should be president.

Have you compared it to HR1 that the US House passed last year? Why hadn’t the Senate even debated it? senatemajldr has buried it in his graveyard! Vote for AmyMcGrathKY KY

Your agenda sucked when you ran - trying to push it through as a Senator will be a long shot.

She should be appointed official hall monitor! 🐍

crwaxlax cc: .SpeakerPelosi Get this done.

National voting overhaul? It should start with anyone who wants to vote being a citizen, being properly registered, and showing their ID in order to vote. There should be harsh penalties for those who try to vote illegally, and harsher penalties for those who assist such behavior

Always ridin late on a bandwagon then claiming credit as if Dems have not been on it. Who does this remind you of? Such BS bs.

crwaxlax No shit. After other Dems have been calling for this for years now.

_Our_Freedom_ I’m not for or against EWarren, but I’m 1000% against any restrictions on voting in person and by mail. I can vote early by mail, but I can also choose to drop off ballot at designated locations on or before election date.

Her hair brained schemes will never come to fruition.

here comes the fake progressive to save us all

please get off the stage Liz. your TimesUp

I don’t understand the assumption of “attempt to suppress the vote.” The voting was conducted ( wisely it not) and absentee ballots were long an option. In fact, officials stated the results may not be known before Monday because of the volume of absentee ballots.

If anyone has any doubt about the evilness of the Republican party it should be erased after Wisconsin. Primary only important to democrats there who were forced to expose themselves to a deadly virus. Good way to kill off a few hundred democratic voters huh? Nazi Republicans.

Lets see how many of those voters contract the virus and die.

How about getting rid of early campaigning?

Warren2020

🐍

What happened in Wisconsin was heinous. There is no excuse for putting lives in danger. I never again want to hear anyone question how far the Repubs will go. We have our answer. They are willing to kill people in order to win.

You are not incharge, we are, we pay your wages, so don't bother its all up to us and TRUMP2020.

It's early enough Let's get some coffee in us and Wait a second. There's no where to go. I guess we try getting through on line . Only I'm on the west coast and it's bedtime. Goodnight.

Of course she would, she doesn’t like to lose

Trump will use ANY excuse he can to make sure he wins That definitely includes not postponing elections until its safe to go out & be in large groups again He knows that he'll be judged on his televised lies about COVID19 He knows that his ️⃣s are way ⬇️ & dropping more everyday

SenWarren should have been the Dem nominee-

Elizabeth Warren is an angry evil woman.

npr pushing voter fraud with dnc /ccp

Check your facts: Wisconsin's govt is split Rep/Dem: Gov, Sec of State (who oversees/has final say in elections) is Dem while State Senate, Assembly is GOP. In some states, Exec Branch has final say. Sen Warren should check before making blanket statements on voter suppression.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers and the Attorney General Josh Kaul are responsible for the elections in Wisconsin. Any problems are to be directed at them. If they close polling sites at the last minute...look to them for their reasoning. No feds in State elections. VoterID

As Trump throws around bogus claims of mail in ballot corruption ...she keeps working.

Sen. Liz needs to get her proposals heard quickly, or she might suffer the consequences of becoming irrelevant. At least, for the time being.

This was the person who could have drawn both progressives & main stream together. I love how she shines despite it all. The strength that must take is unreal.

I am 100% for returning to a paper ballot, with human counters.

No, thanks! Lie-a-watha keeps looking for ways to destroy USA.

My neighbor Karen calls for the complete and total destruction of Isis.

Warren's ultimate grift: After lying to millions of progs potentially setting progs back for decades by not dropping out on ST, she will pretend to be Bernie during Trump's next term(Biden's done. Mental decline/rapist). But knowing her policies will not pass she will grandstand.

What we don't need: a left-wing moon bat telling states how to run elections. DemVoteFraud

Voting by mail =Fraud

That is exactly why Ol' 'Liz will never be president; she refuses to READ the Constitution. Election are unequivocally the purview of the STATES; NOT CONGRESS. She whines about things of which she is clearly ignorant.

I am still angry at ewarren but I am glad she is doing stuff like this and we still have her in the senate.

No, fuck no. Ballot harvesting is a Democract created vote fraud scheme. scum

MikeNotaBotLane No. 2016 did that. But go get 'em Liz.

BerniceKing I wish she would try a Bi-Partisan Plan to send the Voting Rights Act back to SCOTUS to restore section 4 &5 in addition to adding States that may discriminate against minority parties in such states as CA, NY, MI, etc, so that NO New Rules can be added without DOJ's Preclearance

Trust nothing coming from democrats

Or how corrupt you want to make it.

I love a good shadow president. Elizabeth Warren is a hero.

Douchebags Never Stop Douchebagging. FakeIndian

Hahahahahahhzb

I ❤️ ewarren ElectSmartWomen

We'll be voting by smoke signals by the time she's done lining Democrat donor's pockets.

Find a mobile notary to notarize your absentee ballot on 123notary! (in any state)

We kinda knew this was an issue 2 decades ago though...

There is no such thing as national voting on the US. Absolute power grab. Hard pass.

jpprime01 2016 did that, but thanks.

You are soooo smart ewarren I love you,

The federal government does not have jurisdiction here. Nice try, Fauxcahontas.

yes! mail in ballots. after the ling lines and problems with mailing in ballots in wisconsin, this would be a better solution.

I don’t know which role, but Elizabeth Warren needs to be a member on the next president’s cabinet.

And she wants to take advantage of it's vulnerability.

And the Republicans will do everything possible to make sure that doesn't happen because they know the more people that vote, the more people will vote there immoral and unethical asses out of office

Who is she?

Unfortunately we know the monstrous GOP in Congress and Trump will NEVER allow vote by mail for the country. They DO NOT CARE how many people die trying to vote Dems need to expose them and really play hardball! None of this collegiality shit the GOP never observes! Gloves off!

She would make an excellent president. Oh well.

Hard pass. Really hard.

1023/1024ths bullshit.

Do you want voter fraud? Because this is how you get voter fraud.

Horrible politician, parades as a game-changer but is actually an establishment shill at heart. Total sellout

I am not voting by mail period!

No. It exposed how horribly dependent we are on China. The election cycle is an indirect effect.

The wolf in sheep’s clothing will be mail in ballots.

McFaul Thank you Senator Warren

McFaul Go ewarren we need you in the Senate! Thank you for all you do! BlueTsunami JoeBiden will beat trump

Shan73198 Liz Warren could cure cancer and I would not believe her!

BonnieBlueBell1 Republicans will never allow it. They don't believe in democracy anymore.

ewarren Thank you! How can we help get this done?

CyrilDeLaPerri2 Damn she would have been an awesome POTUS.

I am so sad she's no longer in the running for the presidency. She seriously does have a plan for everything.

She would be the best president.

Superb! Way to try to make Election2020 legit ewarren! Was worrisome to hear Trump once cast doubt on MailinBallots without a shred of data.

We should suspend the election a yr or 2

👏👏👏👏

We have 7 months to get this done. Let's go!

If it’s not to late!

👏👏👏👏 MailinVotingforall

Get it done! Please!

ewarren DO NOT use this pandemic to push a Democrat agenda for voter fraud. Mail in ballots have shown deep corruption in NJ.. This is government control

Of course she does! Go ewarren go. We need you!!!!!

ewarren No. STATES and local government run elections not the federal government. That idea to me is scary. Imagine Trump running it all. It is a path to dictatorship or quite frankly the rich having more power.

You got to be crazy to not make this person VP.

As it was too bad her presidential campaign didn't work out, Warren is still a major player and a much needed voice of reason in the Senate.

Yes ! Trump, armed forces, all Americans must vote by mail .

Warren has ideas and can write them out in full. She would have been a great President.

SharinStone Good.

while the country suffers in debt, fear, and death, Elizabeth Warren is concerned about her re-election.

She comes up with great ideas. Our military and also our President agree👏👏(they all already vote by mail)

Shows how little politicians are affected by this virus and the affect on the average citizen who needs to work to make a living.$4 billion can go a long way to helping the economic recovery that will be happening. Thanks for caring about the people so much! BunchOfShit

Sounds...presidential

Fraud

So many Bernie and Trump cult followers upset over something, and someone, that makes so much sense. That certainly is nothing new.

I do not care what Warren wants.

Suggesting mail in ballots has an undertone of dishonesty. Right? Keep the polls open for days, even weeks. Show an ID, once you've voted once, that's enough. Run an honest election and see what happens...

When you're losing, change the rule naturally

This is a great idea but, even she has to know any legislation involving fed oversight of states voting will be struck down by SCOTUS. Roberts has the court he always wanted for this. This is the “or bust” part. It’s busted for generations.

Elizabeth, I hope you know that there are people who greatly appreciate the work you are doing to protect our vote.

Yea so DEms can steal the election.
