Lars Larson comments on the Democrat Party’s approach to elections

Lars Larson
The Northwest Nonsense

I guess you could call the Democrat Party’s approach to elections, back to the future.

Fraud in elections was a big problem about 180 years ago.  States held the Presidential election on various dates spanning more than a month.

That meant early voting influenced voting in other states.  Sound familiar?

So Congress passed a law in 1845 specifying one day every four years for the Presidential election. 

Now, vote by mail has recreated the problem.  Ballots go out three weeks before election today and some states count them up to a week AFTER election day. 

Oregon began allowing late ballots only 3 years ago.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments about whether it’s constitutional to count late ballots.

Democrats love the idea and Republicans don’t.

After oral arguments yesterday, it sounds like the majority of Justices on the court don’t agree with late voting.

I figure when the Supreme Court strikes down late voting … well, let’s say Democrats will be ALMOST as mad as they were when President Lincoln took away their slaves.
