Shouldn鈥檛 the Tuesday鈥檚 primaries be postponed? I don鈥檛 see how we can urge people to go vote and urge people to stay home at the same time.馃

Let's hope so. Especially if Biden does Biden..

This primary is too important though. Just going to have to be as careful as possible until I can get home and decontaminate myself.

You can't safely stand in line when sustained community transmission is underway. I'm doing research advisory for public health in New Zealand. I'm looking at the US case where the window of opportunity wasn't utilized. Modelling shows spread will be accelerating quickly now.

It was a tweet from a news outlet... Don't remember which one; CNN or MSNBC I think.

Social Distancing =/= Staying home
There's not really time to implement that so soon tho. Postpone for some weeks and work out the system.

Democracy cannot be stopped, and people have given their lives for our right to vote, so we shouldnt. How about drive up, verify and receive ballot, fill in vote while still in same line then proceed ahead to feed ballot into machine, all from your car? No exposure to anyone.

The vote should be by mail. Paper ballots. Harder to rig when it鈥檚 done like this as well. Which is why it won鈥檛 happen. You got to go risk disease!
