I have had cons say it is too easy to have mail in voter fraud and thus everyone physically able should vote in person. We saw in Wisconsin how that ends up and now in those areas of Milwaukee where the lines were long there is a spike in Covid 19 cases. That should surprise no one. So how do we make it safer to vote in person, have the voting over a period of days depending on the number of eligible voters in a given district. You spread out the voting using the alphabet or some other means, making the voters able to keep social distancing. In larger district you use more days and in smaller districts less days. Many stores have put X's to make people in line to check out keep social distancing, you can do the same for voting and it is cheap. Of curse I am sure that those who want to suppress voting will be against such a change, even for just this one election but if we want people to vote in person safely, this is one way.

I have no issue with people who want to do it by mail but as far as voting in person goes...
Why not just space out the physical distance between booths and throttle the flow of people the same way the box stores are doing it?
The whole thing strikes me as a manufactured crisis that iseasily resolved using basic common sense.

The problem in Milwaukee, WI, was they had only 5 of 175 polling places open. It was not due to any political problem by either party, they just could not get enough people to man the polling places due to fear of covid 19. So it was not a manufactured problem there, but one that ws due to the problem of Covid 19. So if cons do not want mail in votes they have to find a way to make voting in person safer.

With mail-in voting we can end the ungodly, perverted minority Republican government.
 
The repugs don't want mail in voting because the only way they can win is by cheating and voter suppression. I've been voting for years by mail and many in my state do. All states, due to the pandemic, should be able to vote by mail. Screw what the repugs say, Trump already said if more people voted by absentee, then repugs would be more likely not to win. That POS and his paid whore both voted by mail themselves.....hypocrites, the whole Trump Party Klan.
 
Yes the reliable bait and switch by the media, got it.
Mail in voting is currently allowed what they are arguing against is changing the rules.

The rules are changed all the time. Main in voting is legal.

Obviously, we need to cancel the election and make Trump President for life. For the sake of stopping the virus.

If you disagree, it's because you're anti-science and want people to die.
