"RNC is trying to force in-person voting instead of mail-in ballots, putting American lives at risk"

To clarify, by "take over" she means we want to make it so people can vote without literally risking their lives.

By "the RNC is fighting hard to stop them" she means that the RNC is trying to force in-person voting instead of mail-in ballots, putting American lives at risk.

“Democrats are attempting to use the devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to take over elections. Again. And to do so permanently.” — @pnjaban

The GOP as it is today needs to be banished as a political party. Their behavior *during a fucking pandemic* is not compatible with a liberal democracy.

When this is all over, people had better be prosecuted for putting thousands of lives at risk.

Republicans cheat with the voting machines in order to stay in power. And you
can't do that with a mail in ballot unless you give it somebody else and let them
fill it out for you.

Republicans have known for years when voter turnout is high, they lose, when it's low, they win. My biggest frustration with Democrats is too many are so easily discouraged from voting. Republicans react differently, they turnout more reliably.

And everyone should be able to choose postal voting with verification.

In CA we can check to see that our postal vote has been counted.

Twitler just said it, if everyone could vote Republicans would never win. Republican operative Paul Weyrich was caught on tape saying they didn’t want everyone to be able to vote a few years ago.

They can only win by making it difficult for marginalized people.

We are so close to seeing our democracy go away.
