Ellis went on to say that the Democrats moves are using the “coronavirus as a temporary pretext to then simply manipulate elections in the future.”
“The Democrats are trying to remove and eliminate nearly every safeguard and that should trouble every American, regardless of your party,” said Ellis.
Ellis did not immediately return a call seeking evidence to back up her claim.
