Today I heard an explanation of why Republican legislators and governors continue to say the Biden/Harris election was stolen. It was one of those times when I slap my forehead and say “of course.”
Republicans want to suppress the Democratic vote in upcoming elections. In many cases the Democratic voters are Black, Latino, American Indian, Asian and young voters. Republicans need a reason to add I.D. requirements, cut back on drop boxes, eliminate mail-in balloting, and end voter registration on the internet. They point to the 2020 election, call it fraudulent, and demand new requirements. If they admitted the election was run fairly and honestly, they wouldn’t have an excuse.
That’s why I am going to Palmerton Borough Council to request them to pass a 19th amendment sanctuary resolution. Women, especially working women with families, often find it difficult to vote in person. Restricting mail-in voting would limit the rights granted to them by the 19th amendment.
