to practice your American right to voice your opinion and vote I salute you.

I know it sucks that I say that about the republicans who went out but whether they realize it or not they were backing the Democrats fight to be able to vote at all.

I am quite sure the republicans are trying to keep the republican supreme court seat, which was the direct result of why they had to go vote on Tuesday anyways (the court ruling against the election delay). So no, I don't think they are backing the democrats fight to be able to vote.

This is classic example of why America is becoming a failed state thanks to the GOP.

In a true democracy/republic, voting by mail would be no big deal. States like California and Oregon do it very easily.

However, GOPers know that the more people vote, the more it hurts them.

this was engineered by the sc to force people to knowingly risk their lives to vote. and diabolically going from a maximum of 180 polling places to five! insuring the highest probabilities of catching covid-19 by being forced to be close together in very large groups.

Those that made this decision are future accessories to murder. Talk about cut-throat politics.
