Democratic lawmakers introduced a bill Thursday that seeks a massive expansion of mail-in voting. In response, New Yorkers have a different view.
On Thursday, Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Earl Blumenauer introduced a bill, known as the Vote at Home Act, that seeks to “massively expand” vote-by-mail by automatically registering voters, providing pre-paid envelopes and other measures. The bill, known as the Vote at Home Act, seeks to “massively expand” mail-in voting by automatically registering voters, providing pre-paid envelopes and other measures.
They say nearly 50 percent of voters voted by mail in last November’s election, a record high for a federal election.
New Yorker Claudia: “Not everyone is 20 years old to go out and vote, and a lot of people are staying home now and want to be safe, so I think it’s good to have that option.”
New Yorker Ernesto Tecco: “I think it’s up to the people to decide, we were supposed to have different options to express our voice.”
Yet the expansion of vote-by-mail voting in last November’s election alone led to a flood of voters, witnesses, coming forward with allegations of election integrity problems.
Republicans introduced the Save Democracy Act just weeks ago, seeking to tighten vote-by-mail rules, strengthen voter registration verification and enhance the integrity of federal elections.
New Yorker Olesya Castellanys: “Just make sure the elections are fair and honest.”
William Villalobos, New Yorker: “I think we can only keep the good faith and trust the post office to do a good job without being manipulated.”
In an exhaustive report on the integrity of the November election, former Trump adviser Peter Navarro (D-N.Y.) also listed multiple detailed allegations.
