NEPA:
Wait a second! I think I'm with Skrepenak on this one! Skrepenak (Democrat) & Urban (Republican) vote to extend deadline for absentee ballots, and a host of "characters" are against this? Why? Why don't these people want more votes to count? There's a record number of voters this year, and Skrepenak & Urban voted to accommodate this unique condition! Who ARE these anti-democracy people against this? What's going on here? These anti-democracy people want absentee ballots received on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday...BEFORE the election...TO BE THROWN OUT! WHY? The original "law" is ridiculous in the first place! And HELLO! Maybe the mail was slow because it was the WEEK OF SENDING IN YOUR TAXES - APRIL 15TH!!!
Skrepnak taking "smart pills" on this one:
Skrepenak questioned why absentee ballots from military personnel serving overseas could not only be received past the state deadline, but up to one week past Election Day, as long as they were mailed prior to Election Day.
“(Voting) is one of our most basic fundamental rights,” Skrepenak said. “I believe we should encourage rather than discourage.”
Amen!
So, who are the people fighting to stop all the votes from counting? Is it "too much work" for them?
● Cabal of "democracy-haters" fighting to throw your vote in the garbage can! They're against Skrepenak & Urban wanting absentee votes that come in before the election to count!!!
