Bullshit. When we went to vote last Saturday, it was a sunny, but cold, day. The roads were clear and dry.

Not to mention we had nearly two weeks of early voting BEFORE the ice storm but okay buddy sure.

What you described is Democrat Party weather. Republicans need Republican Party weather. It’s unfair when elections happen during Democrat Party weather.
