Democrats are doing everything they can to turn the coronavirus crisis into a political advantage.
Even former First Lady Michelle Obama is getting in on the act.
And Michelle Obama just shook up the 2020 election with this major announcement.
For decades, Democrats have sought to conduct elections through mail-in voting.
Now, they see the coronavirus crisis as their opportunity to implement it nationwide.
And former First Lady Michelle Obama is the latest Democrat to jump into the fray, throwing her weight behind a lobbying campaign to force Congress to federalize America’s elections.
Currently, states are in control of their election processes. But if Democrats get their way, Congress will takeover the election process and mandate universal mail-in voting in the next coronavirus relief bill.
Michelle Obama provided a statement to Axios saying, “There is nothing partisan about striving to live up to the promise of our country; making the democracy we all cherish more accessible; and protecting our neighbors, friends and loved ones as they participate in this cornerstone of American life.”
The Democrat-sponsored bill Obama is backing was first introduced by Representatives Earl Blumenauer (OR), Suzan DelBene (WA), and Jamie Raskin (MD). Ron Wyden (OR) introduced companion legislation in the Senate.
This isn’t the first time the Obama’s weighed in backing mail-in voting. After the Supreme Court smacked down Wisconsin Democrats’ attempt to extend the primary voting deadline, the Obama’s vocally criticized the ruling.
Democrats are pushing for mail-in voting nationwide specifically because it renders voter ID laws moot and allows for massive voting fraud and ballot box stuffing.
President Trump and other Republicans oppose this scheme because conservatives know, no Republican will ever win a national election again if the country adopts nationwide mail-in voting.
Democrats know that’s true, and it’s precisely why Michelle Obama and other big name Democrats are trying to use the coronavirus crisis to bully Republicans into sealing their political fates.

Let’s get real. Republicans don’t want Democrats to vote. They know that when Democrats vote they will lose. In Wisconsin Democrats came out to vote in spite of the virus and in spite of the fact that the far right Justices on the Supreme Court ruled that the election must proceed, the judge who was endorsed by trump lost which is great news.
In several states, Republican governors and legislatures are doing their best to limit voting in Democratic districts. That is anti-American and un-American. No American patriot should support keeping people from voting which is what anti-American Republicans, including trump, are trying to do.
Many people vote by mail. It isn’t easy to vote by mail. You have to be a registered voter. In order to register you have to show your ID. You can’t vote more than once. Voting by mail is safe.
Jandy !!!! It isn’t safe or else the demorats wouldn’t want it !!! Tell me another story !
Dead people vote twice !!!! Then they find votes in the trunks of cars ?!!?!?
Couldn’t agree more! You’re clearly “spot on”!
voting by mail is NOT safe… any mail can be easily tossed away and who would know… the safest way to vote is going to a polling place to cast your vote AND VOTER PHOTO ID!!! But democRAT don’t want voter ID…. WHY… because it would catch illegal aliens, dead people, etc… You have to be a registered voter to vote at a polling place…
Republicans are not trying to stop anyone from voting.. they are trying to cut down on the voter fraud… mail in ballots make voter fraud very easy…
AMEN… but they won’t admit the truth… mail in is a good way for them to commit fraud… it’s already been done… But that’s what they want…
THE BEST WAY TO VOTE IS AT THE POLLING PLACE AND WITH A PHOTO ID
Government for the people, by the people. It doesn’t say that a few people should decide how we should vote. I feel it will be just as safe going to vote as it is going to get your meds, going to dr, and getting groceries. They closed our right to worship, and this is just one more right to take away, they get their way with this, look out gun owners, they will be coming after our guns, then our Bibles. THEN WE WILL BECOME COMMUNIST. THEN THE RETURN Of CHRIST.
Jandy, you don’t know what you are talking about !!!
jandy, you are either stupid or a commie, maybe bopth
The idea is if your old enough to vote then you get one (1) and ONLY one vote. Why are all you demorats so frightened of voter ID? It would be so simple now than if you want to keep your license you got to submit proof for e-verify. So if it’s good enough for airport security and federal building entry it’s good enough for voter ID. You show your driver’s license to cash a check, at every doctor’s office and many other things so it’s a simple solution. What are all you Dumbocrats so afraid of? Perhaps it’s the idea of an honest election, you know the kind you know you can’t win.
they don’t like voter ID because so many illegal aliens use stolen SS#s and they wouldn’t match who they are…IMO that is part of it…
You get real JANDY u Democrat can vote all u want but u think ur illegals are going to vote by mail.u got another thing coming .ur sanctuary cities are being hit hard by this virus. By accident.i dont think so..ur corupt dem party only thinks it can fool the people and the lord ..
The reason the democrats want vote by mail is because all Republican votes would be tossed in the garbage, and ONLY Democrat votes counted. How blind can anyone be? That takes away our voter’s rights! And— the obamas should NOT have a say about how anyone votes! We should all go to the polls, cast our votes in person with a VALID voter I.d. Period! The plot and plan is to use the corona virus as an excuse to keep everyone away from the polls! Another crooked ploy by the democrats! They know their candidate can’t win without rigging the election in their favor AGAIN! Did you notice that Obama waited til now to endorse Biden? They had to get Bernie out of the way first, he posed a threat to them. The impeachment farce was a distraction, to keep everyone focused on that, while they were pulling off their illegal acts. And to cover for Pelosi’s husband’s insider trading, why else would she hold up taking the articles of impeachment to the congress, after insisting it was “ crucial” to bring impeachment? They had to pull the “ stall tactics” until everything they were doing was in place. Now she wants “ proof” that the small businesses need help before she will let funds go to help them, but it was ok to have tax payer funds go for the Kennedy center, and to fund abortions. She tried to put all her “ crap legislation” into the cares act, that had NOTHING to do with combatting the corona virus! And they all have the audacity to condemn President Trump for not handling the “ crisis” properly! Pelosi told people to go to China Town in San Francisco! How utterly STUPID is that? She hasn’t practiced social distancing, she travels to California weekly! She bullies everyone in congress til she gets HER way, and all the dummy dems go along with her! We cannot allow the vote by mail legislation to be enacted! If we care at all about our country, we need to stand up, speak out and not allow that to happen! We cannot loose our rights!
There is no way Democrats would be jumping on this if it wasnt fraught with deceipt. Yes Republican votes go in the trash and fraudulent Dem votes take their place. Only enough to win of course, they wouldnt want to over sell it. This cannot happen period. If it wasnt for the fact they have no REAL clear path to victory this might not be an issue. This virus couldn’t be more beneficial to Democrats if they created it themselves. Now our elections are doomed.
In Oregon, mail in voting SUCKS!! Lets go to the polls, show I.D. then vote. That is how it should be done.
Mail in voting is a fraud waiting to happen and the Democrats know it! Too many states have found dead people voting and they have been Democratic Party! The Past is proof of what can happen! By November this virus should be under control enough to where going to a voting poll showing proper ID will be just fine! I don’t trust the mail!!!!! Electronic voting backed up with a paper trail!
Voting by mail is just another way Democratics can try to steal the election
Jandy you are so stupid, The Democraps will do anything to try to steal this election One of the greatest honors a US citizen has is to go to the polling booth in person and submit a voter ID.
The Democraps want no voter ID I cannot even check out a library book without one
Total Bullcrap. The Republicans want a fair vote where ONLY citizens vote. There has been too much voter fraud. The Democrats want to turn our election process into a rigged election process much as they have done in California where it is now basically a single party system. If the Democrat platform was so viable and acceptable to the American people they wouldn’t have to resort to the measures they are taking. It is very easy to vote by mail which it shouldn’t be. Too much room for error and fraud. Voting by mail should be monitored more closely as voting in person. Voter ID should be required as done in most countries. Voter ID now should NOT be tied to driver’s licenses any longer as driver’s licenses are now being issued to illegals.
You want to see where voters are restricted from voting, look at California where it no longer is top candidate from each party, but the top 2 vote getters in the election which usually means top 2 Democrats as Republicans are far outnumbered in that state.
jandy lies that’s how the dems. took the house back in 2018 by voter fraud and miscount in 3 or 4 states that’s why they want mail in voting and then all the dead dems. that vote and let illegals vote they don’t want voter I d what does that tell anyone demonRATS are corrupt just like
oBUMa and KILLERY CIA FBI MSM
I used to have to mail in vote stationed on foreign soil never again will I mail in vote
over 35000 mail in military votes lost in 2018
The dems will stop at nothing to steal back the white house. They know old senile creepy joe dont have a chance….now they have all the swamp rats coming out and their bought off MSM working overtime and lying through their teeth.you can see the anger in their faces…love it.TRUMP 2020
