A fed-up Sean Hannity went for election officials’ throats as the nation enters week two following the midterm elections and so much is still undecided. The Georgia race has already been moved into a run-off race but the count in Colorado is pivotal for the GOP to own the majority in the House. With 99% counted it’s astonishing that the race hasn’t been called yet.
Hannity called the new voting process a “national embarrassment” but what is the new change that has everything up in the air? Mail-in ballots. The process was set up to automatically renew post-2020 with more added year over year. To make matters worse, people don’t trust the post office to deliver their vote after what happened in the last presidential race, so many mail-in ballots were hand-delivered on voting day.
We are a week out from election day and so much is still unknown—It’s gotten embarrassing. Fox News host Sean Hannity snapped calling
Something obviously needs to change.
Hannity slammed the process saying, “again, here we are. Another election year unable to call more than a dozen key races. It is idiotic. It is unacceptable. Ask yourself, are you happy with what you’re witnessing in the state of Arizona, Nevada, Alaska and California?”
“This is a national embarrassment,” Hannity continued. Adding, “Many of the problems and delays stem from widespread mail-in voting, early voting. look at your screen, over half the country allows all this early voting five weeks before the election, including 50 days in Pennsylvania. No wonder why the trust fund brat waited till the last week of October after hundreds and hundreds of thousands of votes were already cast.”
Hannity went into how obliviously disastrous the post-pandemic voting process is under Biden:
“Look at Nevada and California. All residents are mailed a ballot automatically without applying for one. What could possibly go wrong? In Arizona, I have no idea why it has taken so long to count every vote. In Alaska, we’ll be lucky to know before Thanksgiving. We’re the United States of America, is this the best we can do? Are you happy with this system? I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. The system is broken. Trust is shattered.
Of course, there’s a clear pathway to improve the process. We sent people to the moon. They land, they walked around. They get back in their rocket ship and they head home. And they land safely. We can’t do better than what’s going on around the country? Why not make Election Day a national holiday? Why not make it where every one votes in person, paper ballots? No exceptions except for the elderly, the military, the people that are out of town. We can make those exceptions. You have partisan observers watching the voting and watch the count and chain of custody protocols will ensure integrity in every election. Confidence in every result.”
Hannity made several fine points about how disastrous this process has become. We do need to return to a system that people can believe in. One thing he said that resonated with me is that voting day should be a national holiday. Voters have called for that for decades and yet absolutely no one has ever made that happen.
