Why Election Officials Are Concerned For November | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Just send every registered voter their November ballot starting in September by mail, make sure you’re all registered
@M John Do what? I’m guessing you mean check if your vote has counted? You go to the election board website in your city/town and check it there. Or do you mean election fraud? That’s too big a topic for me to say here. Check out Greg Palist on YT as he has covered it extensively.
@Robert Poen A lot of states already have it.
@Bear SuperBear

@brian gardner only voter fraud that was proven was by Rethuglicans.
But thank you for reminding us what the RepubliCON talking points are.
@Linda Scott That does not matter, if someone makes it easy, others will take advantage.
Let’s just hope it’s Repugnicunts that stay home in November.
Republicunts…I like it
@n2eye REPUGnicunts*. Got make sure you throw in the Repug- as in repugnant. But thank you.
Many many of the republican’ts may already be hospitalized or died due to lack of belief in COVID-19. Their side may have issues getting voters to the poll. Pretty dark but trump paints even a darker picture than that!!
@Michigan Wolverine this was the narrative pushed by Trump before the 2016 election, claiming that millions of fraudulent votes would be cast in favour of the Democrats. Then it came out that there were only 3 cases of voter fraud, and all of them were for him. He quietly ignored voter fraud after that…
@Neil Davies Let me guess you got that info from a liberal web site or the DNC . Did Hillary steal the nominee from Bernie 2016 is that fraud . Are they doing it again and giving it to OBiden . All the Democrat super deletgates decide who the nominee will be not you is that fraud .
We should have a drive through voting, or something.
Idk I feel like Republicans are politizing the virus as a means to surpress as many Americans from voting.
Really? The Governor of Virginia has issued a stay-home order until June 10th…. Why June 10th? Not sure… but the republican primaries in Virginia are on June 9th. Or at least, they were.
Politicizing the virus, anyone? Profiting from it politically. anyone? Anyone see vote suppression HERE?
@Karen Byrd right on
Vote by mail. Request a ballot now
@Patricia Callahan yes it does
Get a mail in voting card. Vote by mail. It’s easy and convenient. Call now
I will guarantee you that Trump will be moving, manipulating or cancelling the election. Trump will be acclaiming himself as president again.
States control the election. President Coronavirus will bully the Republikkkan governors into committing Treason. The “Blue” states will prepare voters with masks in order to hold their elections.
Charles Reece Ifyou let it.
Only the Dictator is above the law.
If so, there will be civil war. I will start it if no one else does.
lol you lefties are so dramatic. You have zero reason to think he will do anything to move the election he doesn’t have that power. You morons are so mentally ill it’s unbelievable. You really should be charging Trump rent for living inside your head.
Remember trump asked his base to go out and vote for him, even if they were dying. trump base will sacrifice their life for trump.
@brian gardner So America in recession, stock market crashed, trump wouldn’t act on pandemic a lie? Go back to Hannity’s fairy tales dummy.
GOOD !
@Robin Hood 🤯
Wait for trump to ask his followers to drink the cool aid and die with dignity
@Joe Defrancia 😂😂😭😭
All Democrats should be making personal masks at home to distribute at the polls on Election Day. President Coronavirus must be removed from office. Asap.
best best comment
Republicans should pick a better guy than trump he will destroy the country and the Republican party
Including “Bernie or Bust” people
Trump thinks hes god but keeps doing satan’s work the bodies are piling up
@Mike R < agent provocateur working for Putin. Ignore.
Democracy disadvantages republicans. Interesting.
@brian gardner Any opinion you don’t agree with, is a lie?
@Brian Wurch It appears like many Republicans don’t believe in Democracy
@brian gardner And he is full of BS.
So does the popular vote.
@Brian Wurch then why do Republicans want to force voters to vote during the peak of a pandemic instead of postponing it? You think that voting now would cause more turnout than 2 months from now? A democracy is dependent on the people voting. With less people voting because Republicans forced them to during a pandemic, they are effectively stifling democracy. Why? Because democracy is detrimental to the Republican party. They rule by suppression (like forcing a vote when they know the turnout will be far lower than 2 months from now when the pandemic would have had time to burn itself out)
How can anyone, especially someone on the Supreme Court think it’s appropriate for people to go out in mass and vote. Have they no sense? Is this a political move by them through our corrupt president? I’m suggesting the ladder
They want to suppress voting. They know a fair amount of people won’t want to risk it.
@nooks12 It’s a bipartisan effort to stop Bernie.
It was the state supreme court, not the U.S.
Yes it is, plain voter suppression.
@Julia Lerner bull. Stop being paranoid.
I will vote blue if I have to crawl on my belly to do so. This criminal in the white house has to go!
Say it Joe, he’s planning to take over with all republicans ,supreme court and don’t forget military, police and bikers a d alt right in his pocket. His word’s,except he didn’t say in that quote alt right. But common knowledge. These are really scary times, the enemies for democracy are the republicans,supreme court reversing all voter rights and with death on their hands with their decision on Wisconsin voting.
@Valley Girl who raised u ahah so sad
No manners just like that criminal in the white house.
@Valley Girl Gee what makes me think your a Trump cultist!! Lol!
Amen sister 👏💙🇺🇸
OK boomer
Trump voted by mail by mail in ballot in 2018. His hypocrisy knows no bounds.
D Lafave This is very true, on both counts.
Historically low voter turnout?
Republicans say, “Yes please!”
@brian gardner I don’t think it works that way. Some people only read or watch opinions that reinforce their own beliefs. Everything else is “fake news”
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN YOUR MF ARE OUT IN NOV
M John
Trumps is at his highest approval rating up to date.
@Logan McLean yeah, and it’s still underwater! Saw a graph with the emergency bump different world leaders got. Other leaders were up 20, 30%. Mangolini the Malignant is up 5%.
Anyone with any brains recognizes that his incompetence and pettiness cost us critical months of getting ready for a pandemic. Resulting in needless deaths.
Only idiots, racists and Rethuglican donors still support this menace.
Linda Scott
Are you guys just flat out denying that joe Biden has some cognitive issues. Like what’s the strategy here. The guy clearly has dementia. Look at any of his recent debates and you’ll know what I mean.
Republicans aren’t satisfied with killing us by their inept handling of the pandemic. So, they’re killing us at polling places.
How bout only having 5 open ?
At this point I suspect this is seen as a convenient side effect of this catastrophe by trump and he has no problem letting things spin more out of controll as long as he delusionally believes he can blame others for it.
I have voted by MAIL for 20 years in Oregon! It works perfectly!
Democracy gets cheated at the voting machine’s . Paper ballots . Wake up America .
Vote by mail is the best. Paper ballots and convenient.
Love vote by mail!
Republicans vote absentee ballots by the way so does trump
June is too late, we need Wisconsin voting now with proper protection just like we did in Texas, we need Trump out today !!!
Remember this is just a Democratic primary, so it’s particularly interesting that the Republicans would be interested at all in involving themselves. Unless this is just an experiment on their part for the November election.
@J A Keller It’s NOT JUST a Dem primary. A state Supreme Court judge is at stake as well as other local issues which have effect on future politics.
@Brenda Lux Saw that later. You’re correct; my apologies for the error. Seems odd though that a proven method like voting by mail was rejected by Republicans; the entire point to a democracy is that people vote. Also I found interesting they decided to close so many polling stations to protect polling workers but didn’t seem so concerned with the voters themselves. Almost makes one think Republicans don’t actually want democracy, eh?
REPUBLICUNTS are always trying to suppress the VOTE.-
They would rather you risk your health than vote by mail.
VOTE 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
There is an effort to suppress the vote. Make sure you have not been de-registered and then, this November 2020, VOTE. Go to FVAP.GOV
brilliantly said and explained, ty everyone. we have good reason to be concerned. time to wake from our slumber everybody.
California too. Voting by mail has been for a long time, , a voters’ choice
