Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) said Tuesday that fear of getting sick from COVID-19 or abiding by the his own stay-at-home order does not qualify voters to request an absentee ballot, calling absentee voting “more of a political issue than anything.”
“This is a Democrat-Republican issue and that’s where this is all headed, is to a political answer and what’s driving behind this force,” he added at his daily press briefing.
Parson’s office did not immediately respond to requests for clarification.
Going a step further, the Governor said that now is not the time to talk about election administration, though his state is slated to conduct local elections at the beginning of June.
“It’s about getting the economy started back up. It’s about getting people back to work,” he said. “There will be time to talk about the elections in November and August. But now is not the time for that.”
