That’s landing with a thud with the Republicans who control the Senate.
And while Colorado has moved to a vote by mail system, even that state’s GOP senator said it’s an issue the federal government should not interfere with. Moreover, Senate Republicans say they’ve already allocated money in the last rescue package for elections. But based on estimates from non-profit institutions like the left-leaning Brennan Center for Justice, states will need about $2 billion to confront the pandemic, or $1.6 billion more than previously allocated.
Both Speaker Nancy Pelosi and presidential primary frontrunner Joe Biden are making the case for an expansion of mail voting. Pelosi has suggested that as much as $4 billion in funding could be neededBut President Donald Trump and his administration are not on board. During a press conference Friday, Trump said that “a lot of people cheat with mail-in voting” and that when people vote “you go to a booth and you proudly display yourself.
All states don’t need to adopt it now (although they should) the ones that really need to have it in place by November are the swing states.
WA and OR have done it for a decade. It's not hard, it works, turnout is good, all states should do it.
Just another means for democrats to commit voter fraud. Can’t win on policy!
Isn’t trump the infector promising to shut down the USPO in July/August?
All elections should have a vote by mail option regardless of Coronavirus concerns.
Yeah, ummm no.
badidea
So they can commit massive voter fraud.
Since Republicans think this a way for Democrat’s to cheat in the 2020 election, then let them come up with a legitimate form of voting. notrumpmonkeyneednotapply.
NO THEY ARE NOT!!! WHAT ABOUT WISCONSIN IN 2 DAYS!!!?!!!
This will be over before November. The Democrats are playing politics with the coronavirus. They will try and push this as long as possible, while condemning Trump all the way in hopes it will bring him down enough to lose reelection. They are desperate. Think BallotHarvesting
Oh hell no, we're not going to make it that easy for the Dems to steal the election. Not going to happen.....period!
Great way to cheat an election.
Hopefully people with common sense will push back....make and enforce voter ID laws.
Bad idea.
No way!!! After SpeakerPelosi held up this package trying to include pelosiPork now this ? No way you are trustworthy
Just think about how many dead people, people with Alzheimer’s, homeless people will be able to vote. It’s a perfect way to hold an election. Cheating 101 made easy.
Any of us who can request absentee ballots can do so ASAP. WE need to rock this vote!
You can vote by absentee ballot - no need for vote by mail.
Fraud
Necessary
Hold up the next disaster relief bill for COVID-19 until vote by mail is made national
Garages and basements full of volunteers
SpeakerPelosi , SenSchumer you have the leverage. McConnell already caved on a fourth stimulus bill. Please push for mail voting for all Americans
Can't we all just request absentee ballots? That's voting by mail.
Elections should have zero to do with COVID relief. Don't hold us hostage again.
It’s harder for Republicans to suppress mail-in ballots unless they go missing outright.
Democrats want to expand vote by mail in the states that don't already have it because standing in a giant line for hours to vote in a pandemic is dangerous and dumb. Republicans do not want to expand vote-by-mail because anything that makes it easier to vote is bad.
the fact the Republicans refuse to have fair elections is all you need to know. DISGUSTING!!!
Honestly that is not a big deal! People can work with protection to count ballots! Law enforcement can be there and poll watcher! Our governors have time to make this happen! Donald Trump has said during this pandemic that he leaves it to the governors! Governors WORK on THIS NOW
Put it simple — this is a general election for the president of the USA, not the General Secretary of the UN. Voter ID!
The Same Democrats that ranted for 3 YEARS about Russians hacking our elections? Now they want ALL of our elections to be online? MAKE UP YOUR MIND
WE NEED FREE NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION ID CARDS FIRST
Young people voted. Joe Biden LOST.
It’s good enough for Trump:
