Mail-in voting doesn't belong in the relief bill, period.Trumps EOs helped thousands of people on the brink of being homeless due to no fault of their own...Pelosi went designer face mask and ice cream shopping instead of working to help people in her very own shut down district....If vote by mail is dead, then why won't Piglosi simply delete the funding for it?trump has been going all out to destroy our post office. For the only reason to stop voting. To prevent people from their legal right to vote.
Our military overseas defending our nation vote by mail. trump doesn't care about them. He knows they won't vote for him. For many reasons. The main one being the bounties on their heads by putin which trump won't do anything about. So he's going to do all he can to prevent them from voting.
As for the rest of us, trump is going all out to prevent us from voting by mail.
He is holding up virus relief to prevent us from voting.
The only reason being he knows he will lose. If he was confident that he will win he would want everyone to vote. He would be doing everything in his power to make sure everyone votes. If he was a real American who follows our constitution and the principles of a democratic republic of a government of, by and for the people. We haven't had that in a long time.
None of the lies trump and his followers work this time. People have been voting by mail for decades without any problems. Some states, such as mine, have been 100% mail in voting for years. With absolutely no problems.
trump is going all out on the cheating this time. You republicans and trump supporters are in denial but those of us who aren't stupid or bat crap crazy knows the cheating republicans do and knows the republicans know that the only way they can win an election in a lot of this nation is to cheat. They can't win an honest and fair election.
trump knows he will end up in prison if he's not reelected. I just wonder what he will do in 4 years if he is reelected? How will he keep himself out of prison then? And how will he keep himself out of prison at the state level? The only person who can pardon him or keep him out of a state prison is the governor of that state.
trump's house of cards will fall. It's inevitable. The only question is when?
If he loses in November a lot of people will be facing a lot of legal problems for the crimes they've committed in these four years.
So he issues those grandiose EO's and is now going to hold things up because he's afraid that Republicans can't engage in their usual tactics of voter suppression? (Let's face it, that's why the hue and cry against vote by mail). I wasn't aware vote by mail was part of the EO issue. I know Democrats asked for funding in their bill, but a at last glance, those talks were dead. He really isn't too bright. So he shoots his own dog and pony show of signing those in the head? He really thinks he can recreate 2016 and he'll do anything to make sure it happens. Unfortunately, he has a record to run on this year...and it's terrible.
Vote by mail is a scam, and every Dim knows it.
The point is your lord and savior made a grand gesture of sweeping in last weekend and signing those EO's, delivering the country from Congress's inaction....and now he wants to shoot those EO's in the head over the Democrats negotiated numbers for mail in voting? I thought those negotiations were dead. They had nothing to do with his EO's. They were supposed to be his golden ticket of throwing manna to a starving and weary public. He really is a moron of the highest order.
Trump holds up coronavirus aid to block funding for mail-in voting
President Donald Trump said on Thursday he was blocking Democrats' effort to include funds for the U.S. Postal Service and election infrastructure in a new coronavirus relief bill, a bid to block more Americans from voting by mail during the pandemic.www.reuters.com
No they didn't. He has no way to implement any of them easily...if at all in a reasonable period of time. Congress holds the power of the purse...period.
And he's taking his grand gesture of EO signing and taking it back to try and win an unwinnable argument. Mail in voting has been used for decades, with great success, and a negligible amount of fraud.
Not a very smart move..but we're talking about Trump here.
