The conservative scotus majority ruled that it a state fails to send you an absentee ballot on time on account of the dread disease, your only way to use your right to vote is go out and line up at a polling place, risking said dread disease. These justices are called “pro-life.”

For nearly a decade, Russia and Qatar have been suspected of buying votes to win hosting rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. On Monday, for the first time, the U.S. Department of Justice explicitly described the scheme.
Good for the DOJ. This bribery scheme was suspected from the moment these counties were awarded the World Cup. The 2022 World Cup should be moved to England, who hasn’t hosted in over 50 years. https://t.co/vPRR7OMD5q— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) April 7, 2020

Trump’s claim that he imposed the first China “ban” is a lie. 38 other countries did before him or at the same time. And the US action had so many exceptions, that passengers from China still flooded in after the ban.

The nightmare isn't that Trump will cancel November's election (he can't). The nightmare is that he tells his supporters it's safe to go to the polls in the midst of a pandemic, and those of us with a firm grasp on reality who know it's not safe aren't allowed to vote by mail.
And the reason we won't be able to vote by mail is because of state governments and courts controlled by conservatives, like in Wisconsin.— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) April 7, 2020
The one chance we have is to include voting protections in the next stimulus bill. Republicans can't pass it without Democratic votes.
