John Kerry spoke at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit. He talked about having better access to the ballot. Perhaps this is referencing the Democratic Party’s push for people to vote by via absentee ballot… Or for the electorate to completely vote by absentee. I have a better idea. Maybe they could advocate mandatory photo ID to cast a vote in order to make it harder to vote more than once.<\/p>\n

From Entertainment News:<\/span><\/p>\n

“If people don’t have adequate access to the ballot, I mean that’s the stuff on which revolutions are built. If you begin to deny people the capacity of your democracy to work, even the Founding Fathers wrote in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, we have an inherent right to challenge that. And I’m worried that increasingly, people are disaffected.”<\/p>\n

Kerry went on to imply that this caused him to lose the 2004 election to George W. Bush, and to Al Gore’s loss in 2000 as well. Conveniently enough, he seems to only use this as an excuse in elections that Democrats lose. “We’re not meeting the standard that we ought to be meeting, so I’m deeply concerned about protecting the vote,” he said.<\/p>\n

Though he didn’t specifically mention Republicans, Kerry claimed there was a history of “certain officials of a particular party purposefully [making] it difficult for the other party to vote where they control those matters.” Though he predicted that Trump would lose in a landslide, Kerry also warned that Republicans would “pull out every stop” in the closing weeks of the race.<\/p>\n

Despite all of this, Kerry concluded his nonsensical rant by claiming that he is still optimistic. “I’m going to continue to believe this election will not be close, we’ll have a mandate in America,” he said. “And if it is close, we’ll just have to deal with whatever the circumstances are at that time. Hopefully, we’ve laid enough groundwork, the legal barrier, that we will be well prepared.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
