In a Monday interview on “MSNBC Live,†House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) revealed that Democrats will be pushing for a vote-by-mail provision in the next relief package amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Pelosi told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle vote-by-mail is “very important†because of the ongoing “health issue.†She also stressed the importance of protecting the “life of our democracy.â€
“In this next bill, we will be supporting vote-by-mail in a very important way — we think it’s a health issue at this point,†Pelosi said. “And I didn’t want to leave this conversation without mentioning the importance of … the livelihood, the life of our people, the livelihood of themselves and our economy and the life of our democracy.â€
Although some states already practice vote-by-mail, Democrats have been pushing to allow it country-wide for the 2020 presidential election as a way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. However, Republicans, including President Donald Trump, have pushed back against the idea due to the potential increase in voter fraud.
