Cryin Chuck Schumer Cryin Voter Suppression Wolf In Ga

Sen Chuck Schumer is called out for cryin’ wolf over Georgia’s new election law.

Well, it’s still only a “plan” under consideration, even if plans providing for mail in voting in similar rurals areas of Nebraska & North Dakota have already been in place for some time. Meanwhile, in Mr. “No excuses-absentee voting” Schumer’s own state of New York, “it is a felony to make a false statement in an application for an absentee ballot”. For cryin’ out loud …
