   This was brought up in California when they proposed making mail voting   
   permanent after the Wuhan Flu. Not only did the Democrat politicians not care   
   about abused women being disenfranchised by their husbands and boyfriends, the   
   women's rights groups were also strangely silent about it. When it comes to   
   Democrats winning elections, apparently all other concerns go by the wayside.
