GOP War on Mail Voting; Public Health Be Damned

Not content with suppressing voting at the state level, the GOP is mobilizing an effort to suppress voting at the nationwide level.   Republicans are devoting $20 million to fight efforts in any and all states that make it easier to vote in a safe manner. 

Trump has spoken out against mail-in voting, even though he has voted by mail himself. Attorney General Barr has denounced voting by mail even though he has voted by mail in 2012 and 2019.   White House advisor Kellyanne Conway cast her own ballot by mail in the 2018 midterm election, even though she thinks everyone else should have to wait in line, since voting by mail is un-American.  White House  spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany is a vocal opponent of mail-in voting even thought she has voted by mail eleven times in 10 years.  McEnany has even been accused of voter fraud-- having voted from a Florida address where she doesn't live (her parent's house), even though she resided in Washington Dc and held a New Jersey driver's license.

The only problem with voting by mail is that it makes it easy and safe for people to vote-- it's OK for GOP leaders, but not OK for less-privileged voters like you and me.
