He goes to Florida every weekend to play golf. If he's so against voting by mail, he'd have no problem getting there to vote. |

In case you’re wondering why Republicans are fighting vote by mail - Kansas Democrat’s tripled their turnout in this years primary over 2016’s after switching to all vote by mail because of the pandemic.

“Priorities USA, a Democratic super PAC, and others filed a new lawsuit in Florida on Monday seeking to change many of the rules for the 2020 election due to the health threat.
One big push in the lawsuit is to change Florida’s ballot deadline. Currently, all mail-in ballots must be in local elections offices by 7 p.m. on Election Day. The new lawsuit wants all ballots that are at least postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they are received with 10 days after the election. The lawsuit also wants the state to pay the postage costs of those seeking to mail in their ballots. (Worth noting that this is now the second voting-related lawsuit sparked by the coronavirus.) Will these changes — if adopted — have a huge impact? That’s hard to tell. But nearly 7,000 ballots that were postmarked before Election Day in 2018 didn’t get counted because they arrived too late. That’s important because elections in Florida are won in the margins. That’s also why the Monday testimony of Maria Matthews, the director of the state Division of Elections, was worth noting. Matthews said in a trial over felon voting rights that as many as 85,000 Florida voters might in fact be eligible to vote.” https://www.politico.com/newsletters/floridaplaybook |

“President Donald Trump’s political operation is expanding its legal effort to stop Democrats from overhauling voting laws in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Republican National Committee and Trump reelection campaign are doubling their legal budget to $20 million as litigation spreads to an array of battleground states. With the virus likely to complicate in-person balloting in November, Democrats have been pushing to substantially ease remote voting restrictions — something the Trump campaign and RNC are aggressively fighting in the courts.” https://twitter.com/kenlevy2020/status/1258667227877978112?s=21 |
