GOP legislators blasted for choice
to indulge Trump’s delusions:
‘This madness could’ve been avoided’
Republican legislators in the battleground states of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were harshly
criticized on Thursday
for refusing to allow pre-processing of ballots.
Politico chief correspondent Tim Alberta
revealed what he had learned by
talking to Republican voters.
“9 of 10 Trump voters I’ve talked to believe
mass voter fraud occurred,” Alberta reported.
“8 of those 9 cite the protracted counting
and Biden’s ‘comeback’ after Trump led Tuesday night.”
(((dumbasss- the ^ mail-in ballots were counted
after in person, and the mail-in downed trump..)))
“Again: Legislatures in MI/WI/PA failed America
by not allowing pre-processing.
This madness could’ve been avoided,” he explained.
“There was no reason—none—to deny clerks
the ability to process ballots early.
Other red states allow it. Makes perfect sense re:
efficiency AND accuracy (less rush, fewer mistakes.)
But Republicans there decided to indulge
Trump’s war on mail voting.
The consequences have been ruinous,” he explained.
He did, however, give credit to one
Republican for realizing the mistake.
“Some credit goes to Lee Chatfield,
the Republican House speaker in Michigan,
who refused to allow pre-processing—
and now admits that was a mistake,” Alberta noted.
“Will Republican leaders in other states follow suit?
Hopefully.
But I fear a tremendous amount of damage is already done.”
