Sounds like Gardner is trying to head off legislation that would make ballot-harvesting (see this post) … oh, I’m sorry: “no-excuse absentee voting” the law of the land:
Won’t work. If the Democrats get to ballot-harvest in 2020, they’ll undoubtedly maintain … or perhaps even expand … their legislative majorities … which will allow them to redistrict … that is, gerrymander … the State (sorry, but I don’t expect Sununu to play hardball on this) and we’ll have permanent Democrat rule for at least until the next census … which means they’ll just make ballot-harvesting the law-of-the-land once they get a veto-proof majority or a Democrat Governor.
Speaking of “the position we’re in right now,” perhaps someone could explain why going into the grocery store regularly does not risk your health or safety … but going into a polling place will immediately cause you to get coronavirus and die …
