The “Heroes Act” introduced Tuesday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should erase any doubt that the Democrats hope to leverage voting by mail and ballot harvesting into a November victory. The legislation purports to be a coronavirus “rescue package,” but it’s a $3 trillion wish list that would strip the states of the power to determine how they conduct elections. It would require every state to allow “no excuse” absentee voting, provide postage-paid mail-in ballots, mandate that votes are counted up to 10 days after Election Day, and eliminate voter ID laws. Ironically, even if this bill had a prayer of passage in the Senate, it wouldn’t achieve its goal.

This is a perfect example of why we should "just say no to dems". Instead of an assistance package, they are providing a "resistance is futile" surrender package. The nice thing is, it is so blatant and offensive that it is easy to say no to. It proves that the dems care nothing about the American People but are only interested in power over us. That they would do this in the hours of our desperation is despicable. It's like charging $50 for a bottle of water after a hurricane has made supplies unavailable. Most agencies provide free cases of water in such circumstances. Dems add insult to injury.
THIS is why we should eviscerate them in November. They are a pestilence on our Country far worse than the CCP virus.

Voting in America has always been by secret ballot.
Now I could not care less who o knows which candidate I vote for, I usually make known to anyone I speak to where my vote lies. But--and here is the rub.
Your vote is no longer secret.
Supposedly in order to stop you from voting often they must be able to see your name somewhere on that mailed in envelope or ballot. They need to check off your name in order to keep you from sending in numerous ballots.
Your ballot is no longer secret, your affiliation is known ans your ballot can just get lost by those who don't want it counted.
This bill gives them ten days to work their magic.

The author makes an interesting point. Older people are far more likely to respond to mail and they tend to be more conservative. Younger people are focused on social media and web-based interactions. I suspect that some of them don't know how to use the mail!
However, the danger that David Catron overlooks is that, unlike the small local special elections, the social media giants will come down out of the mountains for the general election and flood Facebook, Twitter and Google with messages to vote. It is quite likely that the social media campaign will increase mail-in voting participation among younger voters (even though I think there are a lot of young people who don't currently know how to use the mail!). Interestingly, this is a mechanism that the giants can use to increase the Democrat vote even if they do not suppress conservative voices or use subtle algorithms to support leftist causes.

Where are the ''stalwarts" in congress who promised us they would be honest and responsible to us sheep-to-be-sheared? We voted for them, however reluctantly, and then prayed ... and prayed some more !! Our Nation is too, too full of voters who believe the democrat party is the Second Coming, but that's OK because they're getting their throats cut, too, but we don't have to tolerate the votes of illegitimates and dead people.
I'm not smart enough to understand all the ways vote-counting is skewed, but I am smart enough to know that voter ID as a requirement is a goal that is easily accomplished, if the will to do so is in place. It ain't rocket surgery, fellow sheep !!

Perfected in California. Now it's going nation wide. This is a bigger threat to our republic than any virus.

Everything foisted on us by the democrat party has been anti-constitutional since its inception. Clearly, ballots were meant to be secret as poster 3 wrote.

If they can stand 6 feet apart in line outside Costco, they can stand 6 feet apart outside of the voting locations. This is pretty simple - make it a 3 day window to go to the polls. We can drive by and wait until we see a reasonable line.

In-person voting would require a little courage if one has been successfully cowed by the virus propaganda, thus giving conservatives an even bigger landslide than we are going to see anyway. To the democrats it would mean taking a big risk just to vote for Old Joe and he is already doomed. Might as well sit this one out, dems.
Nancy and the democrat leadership will feel very silly knowing that they wasted four years with the exclusive goal of getting rid of Donald Trump and he will be coming back anyway. Actually, that's a lie, nothing makes them feel silly.

Obviously, this guy didn't research seriously the stats of states like Oregon who have done nothing but mail in voting since 1986. We have not had a republican governor since that time. This mail in voting nationwide is the goal of democrats, and they will not stop until they get it. The ultimate fraud machine, waiting to happen. Don't buy articles like this, because it is not true. Like the old Soviet saying, (para.) doesn't matter who or how many vote, it only matters who counts them. To get rid of Trump, the Uniparty would stand silently by while the biggest fraud in history happened right in front of them.

The country didn't need mail-in ballots in 1918 during the Spanish flu and it doesn't need them now. Only crooks need them.

Talk about knowing your enemy. The President should make a big announcement that he expects criminal Dems to steal votes. Then explain how he's going to stop them. He'll need a long list. --Vets for Trump 2020

I just realized there is no way to say what I want to say about this, but you can imagine the thoughts that can not be shared.
