Yesterday The Washington Examiner<\/a> posted an article about some recent comments by former Attorney General Eric Holder.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Former President Barack Obama\u2019s Attorney General Eric Holder acknowledged that he sees the coronavirus as \u201can opportunity\u201d to change the way U.S. citizens vote forever.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cCoronavirus gives us an opportunity to revamp our electoral system so that it permanently becomes more inclusive and becomes easier for the American people to access,\u201d Holder told<\/u><\/a> Time <\/i>magazine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holder went on to say that he supports shifting toward a system with more mail-in ballots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere has to be a sea change in our thinking there,\u201d he said when asked how important he thinks mail-in ballots will be going forward. \u201cAllow people to access their primary American right by voting at home. It\u2019s not as if this is an untried concept. Oregon has been doing this for years. But we have to make sure that we\u2019re being sensitive to the needs of poor communities and communities of color by doing things like having prepaid postage on envelopes. Construct a system so that you\u2019ve got expanded in-person voting, you\u2019ve got expanded at-home voting and expanded no-excuse absentee vote-at-home measures.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holder said he believes that these changes during the coronavirus crisis will help \u201cenhance our democracy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Democrats across the country have been pushing for increased mail-in voting during the coronavirus crisis despite reports over the past week suggesting over 28 million mail-in ballots have been lost<\/u><\/a> in the past 10 years and that thousands of ineligible voters<\/u><\/a> could possibly receive mail-in ballots, including many dead people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on his show this week he believes these efforts to push mail-in voting are part of a broader effort<\/u><\/a> on behalf of Democrats to \u201cencourage\u201d voter fraud to win elections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a sentiment<\/u><\/a> similar to Holder\u2019s claim that increased mail-in voting is a positive step forward for democracy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the voice of desperation. The only way to push Joe Biden across the finish line in the 2020 election is with voter fraud. The greatest amount of voter fraud in America occurs with mail-in absentee ballots. We have all heard the stories from people who have gone to the polls to vote and were told they had already voted. There are also stories from people who requested absentee ballots and had them stolen and cast by other people. This is not a step forward for the voting process–it is an open door for voter fraud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
