SAY WHAT?!? GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith Says It's Wrong To Vote On Sunday Because It's The Sabbath

Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) on Wednesday said she believed it's wrong to hold voting events on Sunday due to religious reasons.

As The Washington Post reports, Hyde-Smith made the remarks in response to Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who criticized state governments that have pushed legislation that would limit voting on Sundays.

“Why did the Georgia legislature only pick Sundays to say there should be no early voting on Sunday?” Schumer said on Wednesday. “We know why. It’s because that’s the day African Americans vote in the ‘Souls to the Poll’ operation where they go from church to vote. It’s despicable.” []
