House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reallyyyyyy pushing for mail-in voting this election and accused the GOP of being afraid of a fair verdict.
"We have a different value system about what voting means to a democracy," Pelosi declared referring to Republicans, "Clearly, we want to remove all obstacles to participation."
Right....because Democrats have always been so honest in the past....NOT!
The Hill reports:
Trump and GOP lawmakers have hammered the Democratic proposals, calling the idea a politically motivated power-grab. Trump, despite casting his own ballot by mail for Florida’s March 17 primary, has warned that the system is "corrupt" and invites widespread fraud.
“They grab thousands of mail-in ballots and they dump it,” Trump told reporters this week, adding that the do-nothing-Dems are using this crisp to expand the vote-by-mail system that "doesn't work out for Republicans."
"The things they had in there were crazy," the president told "Fox & Friends" last week, "They had things, levels of voting that if you'd ever agreed to it, you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."
"The president says that he thinks that if we had vote-by-mail no Republican will ever get elected. Well, have more confidence in what the Republican Party stands for," Pelosi responded.
"It had been a Grand Old Party. It had been hijacked, I know," she continued. "But nonetheless ... Republicans know how to vote by mail. So he shouldn't belittle the ability of Republicans to make their voices heard for the candidates they support, and not be afraid of the voice of the people. But they are. And that's one of the reasons they want to stand in the way of a more open democratic system at a time of a pandemic."
"We do want to have vote-by-mail because we think that it ... removes obstacles to participation but it's also healthier at this time," Pelosi concluded. "Some people may prefer to go to the polls, but the lower that number is, the healthier for everyone."
