Voting in the face of COVID-19
Apr 7, 2020, 9:00 AM
|

I don't know the ins and outs of the situation in Wisconsin...perhaps it was too late in the game to make changes to the law regarding absentee ballots.
My main focus is going forward. I think the time is now to make preparations for the possibility that in-person voting may be difficult or impossible for the November elections. It's a long ways out, so maybe we'll be OK by then, but we still need to prepare for the possibility.
I think everything should be on the table, including online voting, and mail-in voting. The key is to make it so that everyone has an opportunity to vote, and we make it as accessible as possible. And at the same time, the time is now to work resolve any potential security options with these voting methods. Mail-in voting makes fraud more possible? Well, work on it until it's not like that. Same thing with online voting. We have brilliant minds who can do this, I have no doubt.

Love it. Although if proposed, some of y'all on this board would lap it up and come up with convoluted reasons why we should do it.

None of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights

are absolute. There are current restrictions on all them, that we never complain about, and for good reason. The rights are often restricted when in the interest of public health and safety. There is longstanding legal precedent for the government being able to curb rights to assembly, for example, in times of emergency.

I think football season is very much up in the air

Just my feeling. Just because the virus impact peaks doesn't mean restrictions will go away quickly, or we could risk just another peak. Personally, I'm more worried about baseball, because I like that more...but I hope we don't see more major sports delays. It's an important part of our lives.

Obviously not, lol.

I thought the fact that only citizens 18 years or older can vote would be implicit.

Some pubs here think there are millions of illegals that vote

every year, and there is rampant voter fraud in favor of Democrats. Which of course is not true, but they don’t let facts get in the way of that.
