Q: Could the general election be delayed by the #coronavirus?
CLC's Paul Smith answers: Nope! Policymakers need to prepare to roll out more vote-by-mail and early voting.

But could GOP governors make it difficult? Close poll locations, understaff them etc?
Governors and legislators of either party would be unwise to do so. The pandemic crisis affects voters of all parties. Older voters and voters with chronic health conditions are most at risk, demographics with no specific affiliation.https://campaignlegal.org/update/clc-president-discusses-immediate-measures-protecting-voting-access-amid-coronavirus …
