Where is Bloomberg when it comes to mail in voting? Why aren't each channel being flooded

... with commercials about republicans hindering Americans voting by mail !?

Even Trump is admitting more Americans voting doesn't help republicans so why aren't all the billionaires who put stupid cash into getting themselves a losing primary willing to help just simple democracy ?!

Really ?!

Just damn ... Republicans aren't even trying to hide how they don't want more Americans voting
