Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams this week argued that “there will be no democracy” in the United States without universal mail-in voting in the 2020 presidential election.
When MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked her how important “universal mail-in voting” is, Abrams simply responded: “It is essential. There will be no democracy without it.”
“We cannot move tens of millions of people through lines… without having the ability to relieve the stress through vote-by-mail,” Abrams said before adding that Congress must include billions in the next relief bill to help states ensure that citizens have the ability to vote by mail.
Pointing out that President Donald Trump himself voted by mail, Abrams has argued that mail-in voting is the “safest and most secure” way of voting, adding that “voter fraud is nearly mythological.”
“You are more likely to be struck by lightning than for there to be an incident of voting fraud,” Abrams has said. “That’s because most people aren’t trying to vote twice or three times. They’re trying to vote once.”
Strong majorities in every poll (Harvard-Harris, NBC News/Wall Street Journal, Associated Press/Monmouth) released during the coronavirus crises have supported voting by mail. And another national poll released this week (USA Today/Suffolk) found that nearly two-thirds of Americans (65 percent) “support voting by mail as an alternative to voting in person on Election Day during the coronavirus pandemic.”

You should have to be a tax payer and a property owner to be able to vote
Abrams is just a tool, a wannabe, a loser. The only way to win is to cheat, says she.
So what if the powers that be just eliminated all the hard working citizens who dont make enough to pay into income tax right under current low and definetly cant afford to buy a home? Are you saying we should disenfranchise this entire segment? Or maybe politicians paid off by lobbyist will further cut taxes to get you disqualified from the voting booth. Careful now....You see, therr is a reason people who actually take time to understand an issue and think critically usually get to make the suggestions.
This country is not a democracy. Never has been.
Obviously ignorant or openly pro voter fraud.
5:00 do like your true thinking.
Yet it doesn't work like that in OC. MANY tax payers MANY MANY MANY property owners, yet the inability to vote since they don't live there greater than 50% of the time and DON'T get the reg real estate tax break either.
Where oh where the hell does all the extra $$$$ go?
Hard to believe its the 21st Century....and 1/5th of the century already gone too!
So much corrupt BS going on had no idea the swamp existed.
Does the Governor-In-Exile of Georgia use Waffle House as her Executive Mansion? Her rabies shot is due; she's foaming at the mouth again.
It's a good thing we will never get a democracy! You really don't want that. I want us to keep our Constitutional Republic, although people like her are constantly trying to erode it.
