Trump and Kobach and the other voting fraud alarmists never seem to have problems with major mail-in groups like military voters or 65+ voters. Yours are tainted, mine are pure must be true for voters as well as motives.
Remember when Trump highlighted absentee ballot fraud when Georgia sent absentee ballot applications to all voters like Michigan has done?
Neither do I.
Remember it when Republicans complain Dems are politicizing COVID-19.
The makeshift hospital at the World Congress Center treated a total of seventeen patients. I’m sure that it is just a matter of time before the self-appointed experts will be harping on the fact that taxpayer dollars were wasted. Of course, they say so from the cozy confines of their ivory towers after the storm has blown past us. Everybody looks smart in hindsight, but coming into the height of the health crisis, we had no idea just how bad things were going to be. I’m thankful that we had the resources at hand to be prepared in this way. Even if we didn’t use it.
Well, I’m still in a wait-and-see mode. But even if it was just an exercise in preparedness, it was worth it. The actual equipment also won’t be wasted.
