Sen. Durbin: ‘We Can Have an Election That Really Represents the Feelings Across This Country’

EXCERPT:

DURBIN: “Well, I can tell you what's going to happen in November. I think we're going to have an overwhelming turnout. People are going to do what's necessary to have their vote counted. They understand how critically important it is for this country to get back on track. We are moving in the wrong direction. Overwhelmingly, the American people have a negative view of where we're headed unless we see some change here in Washington. And I think the turnout is going to be substantial. The president can basically say what he wishes about voting by mail which he does himself personally, incidentally. But the bottom line is, if the Post Office does its job, if we provide some help from Washington to the election officials to pay for postage and the like, we can have an election that really represents the feelings across this country. That to me is the bottom line. The president can try to talk down the results or say he's going to reject the results. The American people have the last word on November 3rd.”
