Senator Ron Johnson (MAGA/Q - Moscow) is in mid-election season form with his flip-flopping. For example, if you ask RoJo how he feels about absentee ballots, and if he were being unusually honest, his answer would be yes.

During an interview, he warned that absentee ballots were part of a nefarious Democratic scheme to get illegal immigrants to be able to vote in American elections:

But let's face it, New York - they allow illegal immigrants to vote in their local elections. The whole push towards mail-in balloting without controls, that's made to facilitate illegal immigrants to be able to vote. Again, that's their long-term game plan. It probably won't take effect as rapidly as they'd like.

While RoJo is correct that some immigrants are able to vote, it's not the free for all that he alludes to. The immigrants have to meet strict requirements, including a stable residence, paying taxes, etc. And under no circumstance are immigrants allowed to vote in federal elections, per federal law. So whatever swamp fever-induced paranoid thinking that RoJo is experiencing is just that, paranoid thinking.

However, just a couple of weeks before RoJo was all up in arms against absentee ballots, he was all too happy to tell his base to use them, stated that he used them himself and even gave a tutorial on how to use them:

So, which is it, RoJo? Are absentee ballots a godsend or are they the work of the devil? You can't have your cake and eat it, too.
