and drive up the GOTV for Republicans.

There is a strong case for getting this over as soon as possible so it doesn't have an impact on Republican turnout and I am guessing that Jones isn't the only one who hopes that it isn't an issue for the election. It could cost us his seat.

In any case aspersions against Senator Jones who has dedicated his life to the cause is uncalled for.
