Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) continues to call for another round of stimulus to help mitigate COVID-19 related damage to the US economy. But as her previous efforts demonstrate, Pelosi’s prescription to “save” the country might do irreparable harm to American democracy.
In addition to giveaways for climate change, labor unions and student loan forgiveness advocates, the bill contained several election-related measures that would fundamentally change the methods and security of the way our country votes.
Buried on page 643 of the original bill was the “American Coronavirus/COVID–19 Election Safety and Security” or ACCESS Act. It included funds for states to conduct elections via mail-in ballots during a declared national emergency, and would permit voters to return absentee ballots by designating another person to return the ballot to the post office or other ballot drop-off location, including an election office.
Given public warnings to avoid public places and gatherings such as traditional polling stations, the push to expand mail-in balloting makes sense. But it is also true that mail-in ballots are highly susceptible to fraudulent interference and tampering. In fact, Donald Trump closed his press conference last Friday by stating his opposition to national mail-in balloting because “I think a lot of people cheat.”
Here, the President enjoys broad agreement. Elections officials from all political stripes acknowledge that mail-in ballots are far more vulnerable to fraud. Stories of political operatives who routinely scam senior citizens out of their absentee ballots are so widespread that the term “granny farming” was coined. Even the New York Times, when reporting on suspicions of election fraud in North Carolina last year, noted that “absentee ballots are especially susceptible to manipulation.”
And allowing third-party ballot delivery would do nothing to reduce that vulnerability. Recent history indicates it would make it worse. – READ MORE

That ’ s what Government Accountability Insititute ( GAI ) research director Eric Eggers says could happen if the Dems get their way .
“ The concern I have if we ’ re trying to mandate national mail-in elections — which by the way was part of the language that Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats inserted in the first version of the most recent stimulus package — would be that we have such massive problems with voter rolls in this country , ” Eggers said .
“ So , now are we going to be mailing ballots to people that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are ineligible voters ?
” A 2012 study by Pew Research Center revealed that there are 24 million ineligible or inaccurate voter registrations on state voter rolls .
This means 1-in-8 voter registrations are either no longer valid or invalid .
Eggers said mail-in voting ensures voters associated with those flawed voter registrations would get the chance to vote in the 2020 presidential election .
“ If you have national mail-in ballots where the supervisor of elections are mailing ballots to everybody on the voter rolls and we know per Pew Center statistics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 24 million flawed or inaccurate voter registrations in this country , ” Eggers said .
“ That ’ s 24 million ballots that are potentially going to people with the wrong address or to people that are dead or to people that have double registered.

“ The City ’ s and County @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 , a highly dangerous and infectious disease—undoubtedly constitutes an important government objective , ” Birotte said in the ruling .
“ The closure of non-essential businesses , including firearms and ammunition retailers , reasonably fits the City ’ s and County ’ s stated objectives.

Attempting to use the coronavirus pandemic as a catalyst, Elias over the weekend outlined a list of changes he believes the U.S. needs to make to “fix” voting rules ahead of November’s elections:
My 5 rules for states to protect Voting In Person

COVID-19 policy cannot be settled by CYA politicians career ID docs. Too much hammer/nail and too little common sense.
POTUS must reflect the interests of the working class and small business here – the economy cannot crash 30% to save the 0.2%.
Set America Free!
If COVID-19 testing were universal, the fatality rate would be less than 0.2%.
This is no justication for sweeping government policies, lacking any and all nuance, that destroy the lives, jobs, and businesses of the other 99.8%
Furthermore, Burry – who earned his M.D. at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine – has also dared to say that some controversial treatments for COVID-19, such as the malaria drug hydroxycloroquine, should be made more widely available (on March 24).
Prudent plan:
1) Standardize on chloroquine and azithromycin -cheap and available
2) Sick and elderly voluntarily shelter in place.
3) Americans lead their normal lives with extra hand washing and special care if around elderly.
Saving the economy means life, not murder.
Additionally, in an email to Bloomberg News, Burry wrote that “universal stay-at-home is the most devastating economic force in modern history… And it is man-made.
