"It is time for Missouri to allow no-excuses absentee balloting; everyone eligible to vote should be able to do so by mail, especially in the middle of a pandemic. What we must not do is force Missouri residents to choose between their right to cast their ballot in our representative democracy and their health and safety."'Experts.' You mean the same 'experts' who've been WRONG on virtually every aspect of this Wuhan Corona Virus since the beginning?
"Health experts have said a resurgence of the coronavirus is likely in the fall."
"Even if on a temporary emergency basis, election laws should be revised to allow no-excuses absentee voting."Now do the same with the 'regular' seasonal flu with its 30-60 thousand death toll - EVERY YEAR. But, no, you won't. Never let a severe crisis go to waste. Right, Rahm Emanuel?
The fraud inherent in absentee voting is infamous. Just ask St. Louis. The fact this editorial doesn't even allude to the voter fraud convictions in that process tells me these editors are not serious people - unless it comes to promoting voter fraud. And nothing in government is ever 'temporary.' What a joke.
Another fact is, if you can social distance at the grocery store, or hardware store, or liquor store, YOU CAN SOCIAL DISTANCE AT A POLL on election day.
Stop with the hysteria!
From The KC Star: Former Gov. Greitens donates faulty batch of N95 masks to Missouri fire department
"The masks from Greitens, part of an effort by the not-for-profit VirusRelief, were folded the same way as a failed batch of 45 KN95 masks the department received from the State Emergency Management Agency weeks earlier, Frazier said.Ah, yes. The faulty masks from Greitens - called out by name in the headline. Because he's a Republican, I guess. Contrast that headline with an early April headline that is oh-so benign: KCFD and KCPD among biggest recipients of faulty masks under investigation in Missouri.
“Because of the crease that was created, they wouldn’t fit test properly,” he said."
No blame shame there.
Try this, instead. From The Missouri Times: Missouri recalls 48K masks from China given to first responders in April.
"Director (of public safety) Karsten said testing found “some of these masks did not meet standards.” While she did not elaborate on what testing requirements the masks failed, a Kansas City firefighter said the Chinese-made masks were coming apart at the seams and expired."A quick look at the picture provided in that article shows these Chinese masks *folded* in individually sealed packages. Folds are an automatic fit-fail.
Also, a quick search engine query will turn up hundreds of news reports about defective Chinese PPE sold throughout THE WORLD. It's almost as if it was a feature, not a bug. I don't recall the Star headline assigning blame for those faulty masks.
But hey. Let's not miss a chance to kick Greitens with yellow tabloid talking points for his attempted good deed.
