Trump Slams
Mail-In Voting.
With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic affecting nearly every aspect of life, several states are making adjustments to their primary election procedures. .
Many states have already postponed their elections to later dates, or have called for mail-in voting.
President Donald Trump criticized the idea of voting by mail on Twitter, saying Republicans lose out in the process.
Republicans should fight very hard when it comes to state wide mail-in voting. Democrats are clamoring for it. Tremendous potential for voter fraud, and for whatever reason, doesn’t work out well for Republicans, President Donald Trump via Twitter.
Easier access to voting by mail could affect
Trump’s bid for reelection this year, especially

Prine died due to complications
caused by COVID-19 at Vanderbilt
University Hospital in Nashville, TN.

as a child after his family had moved to Kentucky.
He recorded albums for
Atlantic and Asylum records,

1992 and 2006. In 2019, he was
inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Prine was chosen for the
lifetime achievement Grammy in 2020.
They come along like a dream or something, and you just got to hurry up and respond to it, because if you mess around, the song is liable to pass you by, John Prine, via ‘The New York Times’
