Fox News: David Bossie: Coronavirus vs. voting laws – Democrats exploit crisis for election power grab

In promoting national vote-by-mail legislation, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her caucus of radical House Democrats are following the advice of Rahm Emanuel, who famously said while Obama chief of staff, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.

In the midst of this crisis, the American people want our leaders in Washington to combat the coronavirus and plan for an economic recovery.
