Drumpf just said dems don't want schools open because they're polling places

Something like that. He said it’s a rumor and they’re going to try to prove this. I couldn’t quite get it right because I fell off my chair. WTH? Lol

for decades. Moron. Who in the hell keeps listening to this moron? This is all determined by the states so he doesn't have a damn thing to say about the voting processes undertaken by each of the states.

The more he is wanting the attention back on him.

This is why he is doing all this shit. The man is terrified of losing because he knows his ass is grass and the state of New York is a lawn mower. He fears State Prison because of Tax Fraud, Real Estate Fraud, and Bank Fraud. NY AG Letticia James and Manhatten DA Cyrus Vance, has Trump's and his family's number.

As a principal that had 2 buildings that were also poling sites, I wanted my buildings CLOSED - either ELECTIONS or SCHOOL - but not BOTH at the same time.
After all of the school shootings and problems about school security, how could we open the buildings for one day (two days really, primary and November) to ANYBODY that had the right to vote? What an idiotic plan: Yes, secure the schools so we don't have another Sandy Hook, BUT, OPEN IT WIDE for elections!

To be clear:
WE SHOULD WANT kids in school - when we have a HEALTH program to keep them and the entire school program safe from COVID-19.
WE MUST have MANY voting places open - places that the voters may go and utilize their constitutional right to take part in the governing of the United States of America.

PS: He's SUCH an A$$!!!!!!!!!

School was out for that day so people could vote. Turns out, someone still had the keys and voting went on as planned.
