Republicans are trying to block mask mandates at polling places.

[SouthernCal_Dem]

A group of voters backed by Republican legislators sued Gov. Tim Walz and other state and local officials Tuesday in federal court, aiming to block a face mask requirement at polling places.

Members of the Minnesota Voters Alliance and GOP lawmakers contend Walz’s mask mandate, intended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, conflicts with a longstanding state law making it a misdemeanor for someone to conceal their identity with a mask. The 1963 law grants exceptions, including masks that are part of medical treatment.

1. People Can Mask If They Choose

and that is an even bigger problem

2. Why do Republicans want to kill U.S. citizens?

Why do they hate America?

3. The party of death strikes again . .

4. The mask can be pulled down for identification.

That 63 law may have been against White hoods?

5. This just shows how desperate republicans are. They don't have anything to sell themselves

to the public...no redeeming qualities as a party. So they're just trying every way they can to cheat.

6. I just thought of a great idea.

Why not have a separate line, and separate entrance/polling stations for anti-maskers? I’m sure there are poll workers that are like-minded. They can enjoy their freedom to infect each other.

It could also serve as a kind of visual exit poll—I mean, we know who those guys are voting for...

7. If that doesn't prove that they're just obstinate by nature

nothing ever will.

The school classification is "oppositional disorder." That's not a joke.

8. I would guess the "....part of medical treatment..." could be

interpreted to mean that a mask to keep the wearer from contracting a deadly virus would be consistent with the '63 law.

9. When You Think About It - It Is Mainly Repugs & Trumpers That Are Anti-Maskers.....

They don't wear masks and refuse to wear them.

I think the Repug powers that be realized that if there is a mask mandate at the polls - that their people would be disadvantaged. I believe that is why they are fighting this mask mandate.

Am I on to something?
