you have to have an excuse if you want to mail in ballot in delaware, all the other states are far more accessible in terms ofmo voting to date, democrats have failed to produce a single examplengle ofy american who was prevented from lawfully casting a ballotto in the last two national elections. not a single one , not noa in ay state. and of course the hosts over at msnbc never let facts get in the way of a good political narrative. take a lookolal at this clip frm joy reid. a look.k. that is exactly what the old version of the dixiecrats saidhe back in the 1950s and 60s. oh , no one s being prevented h from voting. is that the tell us how manyny jelly beans are in this jar.an you can vote. just read the complicated passage. yousu can totally vote. now, of course we re going to make sure your schools are awful and you re barely even taught to read, let alonent anything like this passage. but no, don t get mein voting the more dixiecrats into the nullification of change, the more they
