🟥WAKE UP, Establishment GOP🟥 Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) @ltgovtx sounded the alarm over vote-by-mail and the danger it poses to election integrity during a Friday appearance on SiriusXM’s @siriusxm Breitbart News Daily. Patrick drew a distinction between voting absentee, as has been done for years, and using coronavirus as an excuse to push voting through the mail as the preferred method to casting a ballot in person. “In my view, the only way Trump loses in November, is if you have a proliferation of voting by mail in state after state, particularly the swing states,” Patrick said in a clip played during the show, adding that Trump’s campaign team is “on top of it.” “We have to fight this at all costs,” Patrick told host @marlownews Alex Marlow, saying the vulnerability could give Democrats advantages in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Patrick said he rejects the premise that voting by mail would be “safer” during the coronavirus pandemic and believes many Republicans fall into that rhetorical trap. “Voting is not about being easier, it is about being fair and accessible. To have enough polling places, to have enough time,” he said, and noted Texas has two weeks of early voting. “It’s part of who we are as America to show up and vote,” Patrick told Marlow. He said once voting in person is removed, “it is absolute pandemonium. It’s wide open for fraud, and the left will take advantage of that and they will steal every election until the end of time.”
