McCarthy slams Democrats on funding for mail-in balloting
I wonder if Republicans realize just how bad this makes them look and sound?House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday slammed calls to include funding for mail-in voting in the next coronavirus relief bill, arguing Democrats are attempting to use the pandemic for their political benefit.
Voters in Wisconsin this week went to the polls in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, and Democrats have argued the federal government should fund mail-in balloting to ensure people can vote safely.
But Republicans, including President Trump, have criticized the idea, arguing it is an attempt to federalize elections and that Democrats are just trying to increase their votes.
