Trump supporters burn Michigan absentee ballot applications
Source: WZZM- TV 13 Grand Rapids, Michigan
WALKER, Mich. People gathered near Grand Rapids to burn letters informing them that they can vote by absentee ballot in future elections.
The applications were burned Friday during an event called Operation Incinerator outside the DeltaPlex in Walker.
Many people had flags, shirts and signs showing support for President Donald Trump and Republicans.
Michael Farage, president of the Grand Rapids Taxpayers Association, says the absentee ballot applications were unsolicited and a waste of money.

Well, another example of torching Democratic values.
Hitlers followers had book burning.
Trump followers have ballot application burning.

(51,523 posts)White voting districts tend not to have lines, so they know voting in person for them is no big deal. Plus they don't think Covid-19 is a problem. Idiots.

Oh, and if you really, really want to own the libs, go ahead and get that swastika face tattoo.

just like wearing face masks, even nurses wearing face masks gets them labelled as libruls trying to take away our freedum.

(69 posts)I got my absentee ballot application in the mail recently, which I sent back. It doesn't seem to be a controversial issue here, because, I'm guessing, the repugs figure they have Wyoming in the bag.
