Fmr AG Jeff Sessions: Vote-by-Mail a ‘Huge Threat to Democracy’

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions argues if the push to use federal power to require voting by mail as an election offering is successful, it could threaten democracy in the United States.

During a telephone town hall with the Tuscaloosa County, AL Republican Party, Sessions, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama, explained how changing the election process would be a deviation from American traditions.

“That is a huge threat to democracy,” he said. “It is unthinkable that Congress would agree to such a demand, and if they stand firm, the Democrats will have to back down, for sure. Only if they weakened, could that be successful. Look, historically Election Day was a day that in every hamlet, village, farm and city people went to a polling place on the same day and they cast ballots. Then people decided if you were sick or if you were out of town, you should be able to vote absentee ballot.”

“The ideal of all of the nation gathering on a given day to decide the future of elected official is an important American value,” Sessions continued. “What the Democrats would do, ideally they’re saying they want to close polling places and send out ballots by mail. So, if your brother Billy is not here, or your mother passed away, or somebody has dementia — these ballots can be sent to a home, and anybody can cast them and send them in. People can intercept ballots if they are voting for someone who is not legal.”

Jeff your lack of character and not ending the witch hunt allowed democrats to campaign on it and take back congress. We all know the rest of the story. Coward. Just like neighbors taking photos. Cowards.

Sen. Sessions has been unfairly maligned, then and now. Staunch conservative.

He was one of Trump's earliest high profile supporters, and hasn't ripped him yet.

Nobody really had a clue at the outset how deep and seditious the Obama regime was. Sessions probably was too quick to recuse, and his recusal was too broad; would have been nigh impossible to narrow it in the media firestorm of the moment.
