Kansas Republicans Prevent Democrat Governor From Using COVID-19 to

As President Donald Trump continues to warn about potential voter
fraud generated by mail-in ballots, Kansas Republicans have now
stripped Democrat Governor Laura Kelly from using the COVID-19
pandemic to either move election dates or to require mail in
ballots.
According to Kansas House of Representatives Majority Leader Dan
Hawkins, Republicans
fought throughout the special session of congress created in
response to COVID-19 to prevent the governor from obtaining
additional power grabs.
On Facebook, Hawkins wrote that “Republicans fought hard this
special session” to prevent Kelly “from shutting down Kansas
businesses,” to “provide oversight of federal relief funds,”
and allow local government “greater control.”
Republicans also prohibited the “government from mandating
contact tracing” and provided “liability protections for
employers and healthcare providers.”
National File has reported extensively on the potential pitfalls
of contact tracing. Chelsea Clinton remains on the board of a top
contact tracing group, and was
caught on audio disparaging the United States.
Additionally, in
CDC-promoted materials, the government suggests stripping
children from their families if their parents are believed to be
sick with COVID-19.
“But the work didn’t stop there,” wrote Hawkins. “The
legislation passed by the House and Senate also included important
language specifically prohibiting Governor Kelly from moving Kansas
elections or requiring mail-ballot only voting.”
President Trump has repeatedly warned about potential fraud in
mail-in voting, with
Twitter recently fact checking his claims, citing CNN and The
Washington Post to prove the president wrong. President Trump felt
so strongly about the issue that he signed an executive order
targeting tech censorship after.
National File also exposed what may be a massive
mail-in ballot harvesting operation in Texas, wherein Democrat
activists seem to visit nursing homes and fill out ballots on
behalf of the elderly, pretending to help them in the process.
Kelly has faced a series of battles from Republican legislators
throughout her response to COVID-19, ranging from lawsuits over
limitations on church gatherings to votes to strip her of her
emergency powers.
After one such vote was successful, then vetoed by Kelly, the
governor willingly relinquished her own powers and began offering
COVID-19 advice rather than regulations.
