Vote By Mail?

I find several provisions of the HEROES Act, the bill passed mostly on a party line last weekend in the U.S. House of Representatives, detestable. A 1400-page document is filled with things unrelated to  the pandemic. It is a testament to the words of Rahm Emanuel, who once said…”never let a serious crisis go to waste.”  

The one provision which jumped out at me was $3.6 billion dollars to expand vote by mail. I think that is an idea rife with potential voter fraud.

Hidden in the details, a provision which ensures that all eligible individuals can register to vote on the same day that they vote. That would start this November and remain in place for every future federal election. 

And here’s how the bill addresses voter identification at the polling place…or mail voting…..All I’d have to do, if questioned by an election judge….is swear I’m Mike Dreith. Trust me. No prior registration. No identification. No way…

Why are we trying to make the privilege of voting into a sham?

It cheapens the process and makes it all the easier to have dead people vote.

 The mail proposal would send blank absentee ballots electronically…and must include prepaid return postage. It means one person inside a household could make all of the decisions and mail in the ballots.

Fortunately, this bad idea is on its way to the Senate….where it will die the death it deserves.
