WE TOLD YOU SO: Democrats Are Making a U-Turn on Mail-In Voting

Democrats used COVID-19 as a pretext to try and change the way America votes. In fact, mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and other various and sundry election law changes were part of the reason Democrats refused to debate a narrow COVID relief bill. Because Republicans wouldn’t agree to give up every election security feature we have, you and your family couldn’t get your unemployment benefits extended, schools lost money, and small business owners were left without assistance.

 

 

To block the bill, Democrats used the filibuster, which Barack Obama called a Jim Crow relic during the Democrat National Convention. However, we will leave that blatant hypocrisy for another time. It is becoming exceedingly clear that Democrats intend to use whatever tools they can to gain power and retain it. Burning down our institutional norms and any semblance of consensus is their obvious goal.

Mail-in voting was a part of this power grab. By drawing out election results, they could gin up their base and keep them irrational and violent. They have been so kind as to warn us that the only outcome that does not lead to violence in the streets is a Joe Biden landslide. It is a blatant and disgusting attempt to extort your vote.

Asking people to vote as soon as possible — preferably before the first debate, where there is a risk Joe Biden will mentally collapse — appears to be the only part of the strategy they are hanging onto. Given his angry reaction to being questioned on son Hunter’s activities in Ukraine and elsewhere, if President Trump mentions it, the presidential debate may look more like a WWE event.

That is, if there even are debates. Today is Joe Biden’s ninth press lid before noon in September, which could be motivating the vote-early strategy. Only six days left to affect the before-the-debates vote, in the event they are canceled.

However, now they want you to vote in person. Take your mail-in ballot to the board of elections to ensure it is counted or go to the polls. This is the exact opposite of the Democrats’ previous narrative—that in-person voting would be unsafe due to COVID-19.

 

Perhaps they finally figured out that mail-in voting puts them at a distinct disadvantage. Democrats and their allies in the media had successfully scared their own voters into voting by mail, but not President Trump’s. According to USA Today:

Thirty-seven percent of registered voters said they are likely to vote by mail in the November election, by receiving a mailed ballot and either mailing it back or returning it in person, according to a new survey released Tuesday by the Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape project.

Among them, 48% of voters who plan to vote for Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden said they are likely to vote by mail, according to the survey. That’s more than twice the 23% of voters backing President Donald Trump who said they are likely to vote by mail.
