On Wednesday’s broadcast of SiriusXM’s “Dean Obeidallah Show,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) said Republicans and President Donald Trump’s opposition to mail-in voting was an attempt to stop “people of color from participating in the upcoming 2020 general election.
Obeidallah asked, “Mail-in ballots — you use this in Oregon. You have people on the right saying, ‘Oh, it is wrought with fraud.’ Tell us how has it been in your state?”
Merkley said, “It is incredible we have been doing it since the year 2000.”
He continued, “We have had essentially no scandals.”
He added, “It stops so many forms of voter suppression and voter intimidation. The Republicans are trying to stop poor people from voting, they’re trying to stop college students from voting, people of color from voting, Indian tribes from voting. So many different ways you can attempt to make it hard. Well, this says you know what, you can’t use all those tricks. You can’t understaff it. You can’t create a four-hour wait in line. You can’t move the polling place at the last second and get with away that. That’s why I’m really pushing for a guaranteed mail-in ballot, no excuses this November across the country.”

Hogwash!
ReplyDeleteBiggest lie and deception I've ever heard all bs they have allowed continuous influx of illegal aliens who will vote.pandemic is a conspiracy between Chinese and the democrats to get them re elected
ReplyDeleteYou know, these baseless claims from the left are getting tiresome. This is so much BS and a debasement of American intellect. This form of voting is so fraught with potential corruption the continued push should indicate to all the desperation and willingness to stoop to nothing to wrest control. Disgusting and leaves one to wonder the sincerity of the nut jobs pushing the concept.
ReplyDeleteIs this a big surprise?
ReplyDeleteIf a legally registered to vote citizen intends to vote however they decided to do so is their choice. However, sending ballots to 'registered' non-citizens, deceased individuals still on the roles, moved individuals still on the rolls, etc. Should not occur the foundation of our democracy is by the people for the people, not for China, France, Spain, Mexico, Russia, or those individuals here illegally or legally on temporary visas. This insanity has to stop.
ReplyDeleteBlack people know how to vote and do. Offensive when people act like they need saving in all areas of life...
ReplyDeleteWelp, since Trump and supporters are throwing out all kinds of false conspiracies about voter fraud, why not add additional conspiracies.

ReplyDeleteLooks like to me black people would get enough of all the lies they are told by the Democratsyear after year. Vote republican, vote Trump 2020.
ReplyDeleteThese type of liberal bias comments are an insult to people of color.
ReplyDeleteOh they can't get to the polls but can get to the Nail Salon, Hair Weave shops and lotto stores, really?
ReplyDeleteBiggest bunch of BS I have ever heard. What would they do without the race card BS to fall back on?
ReplyDeleteThat is BULLSHTEIN!!! How is it we need ID, to check into a hotel, board an airplane, go on a cruise, rent an umbrella at the beach, rent a car, by beer, open a bank account, go to rje hospital, buy a car, rent a home, buy a home, etc etc, yet its just fine & dandy to mail in a ballot with absolutly ZERO proof you're who you say you are! You can't even attempt to sell me on how that's racism!!! All these poor folks being oppressed seem to have NO PROBLEM witj ID's going to the liquor store, showing up at BLM rally's, or doing anything else, yet going to a VOTING BOOTH THAT REQUIRES PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP AND VOTING REGISTRATION seems like mission impossible! Hell, Before i could afford a vehicle I hitchhiked 15 miles back and forth to work rain, snow, sun, etc cuz i NEEDED a freaking job! I'm not blowing my horn, but LETS GET REAL FOLKS!
