Missouri Gov. Mike Parson refuses to make it easier for residents to vote, even in the middle of a pandemic.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson claimed on Tuesday that safe voting options are a partisan issue, not a matter of public health.

Parson was asked during a press conference whether the coronavirus pandemic was a valid excuse for residents to request an absentee ballot.

In Missouri, there are only six allowable excuses for voters to obtain an absentee ballot. A health crisis is not one of them.

SO Gov, how do plan on voting, behind some door and handing it the election official, will you be wearing a mask, and PPE while in line, like this other republican POS was doing Wisconsin and he is the speaker, there is even a video.................so if someone wants to use the postal system as safety solution from a pandemic to voting your saying no..............who the fuck are you, when it comes to my voting and my safety...............

1. Let him personally greet

Every voter in the largest precinct in the state ...no mask or gloves, if he thinks there’s no threat. He can do a lot of hand shaking, too

2. I want to see him standing out in line shaking hands, just like you said................

these people are just plain sadistic, and they know they are losing power across the country, they can have all the little demonstration they want, but they are going down.............and they will eventually get that virus with there stunts and they are putting you, me and millions of others at risk based on ideology stupidity.........

5. GOP mentality, is thinking the old paradigm where democrats are too disinterested in voting,

obviously forgetting 2018

I say keep thinking that way

6. Yepper spot on....................let them keep thinking that way.................

8. I want GOP'ers to continue to meet en masse, as the problem will be self-solving

they are not making too many NEW GOP'er voters at all, so anything to see their numbers decrease is ok in my book. Ignorance does come with a price

7. No Vote by mail but Census by mail is okay.
