    This is not good. All the elections -- primary and general -- have to move to mail as the primary method ASAP.https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1240286637659238401 …

    Despite promising precautions, Illinois used low-income senior facilities for nearly 50 polling locations Tuesday in Chicago. Half were in public housing projects. https://interc.pt/2QqX6pg  by @rejburns

        It needs to be part of any government assistant package. Dems need to start using the power they hold in the house to push the GOP into the right place. Seriously, I’m the end, all anyone will remember is “blocked” the aid.

        Here’s the problem. Republicans don’t want anyone other than rural white voters to vote. So they’re never going to agree to voting by mail. And can prevent such in Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida, Arizona, Iowa, and probably in Pennsylvania, Minnesota and NH.

        JB Pritzker, who was otherwise handling the crisis well, is now directly responsible for anyone who was infected yesterday.

        ah, but the problem is that people will vote and suppression is MUCH harder.

        Ohio relocated polling locations to minimise exposing seniors a week before the primary’s scheduled date. When I voted early in-person during extended early voting at the BoE, voters maintained social distancing. (Lines were typically light at my location, tho'.) It can be done.

        Can't you see that it doesn't matter? Why do you continue to play along? It's over, and it has been since the beginning: the outcome is predetermined. #doomed #shambolic

        Im sure you have figured out by now that 45 is using this #CoronavirusOutbreak to his advantage. Not holding elections is one way to stay in power. Why do you think he has changed his tune from denial to Mr. This-Is-Grave-Danger? Please. He doesn't care about anything but power.
