Election officials and voting rights groups are calling for a general move to an all vote-by-mail system for remaining primaries and the November general election as the spread of the novel coronavirus continues to shut down major cities and states across the U.S.
Ellen Weintraub, one of three current members of the Federal Election Commission and its former chairwoman, said this week that voting by mail is a "necessary and urgent" step in the face of the pandemic.
"As Congress and the White House race to save American lives and preserve America's economy, they must also act swiftly to protect America's democracy," Weintraub said in a statement Thursday. "No one should have to risk their life — or the lives of their loved ones — to cast their vote."
She joined a chorus of election officials and voting rights advocates across the country who have been pushing for a radical change to how American exercise their most fundamental right in the face of an unprecedented health crisis.

But I wouldnt be surprised if they do it.
Never let a crisis go to waste and they are moving quickly.
This Wuhan threat is so serious the Second Amendments is already being suspended in several states.
Therefore;
The 2020 election should be cancelled.
NO NO NO
Vote by mail guarantees a Democrat President.
Look for it to happen.
What took them so long?
Yup.
This is how they will win. Cheating made so easy.
Government union members handling all election ballots? Nope
Cancelled or significantly delayed but definitely never by mail.
Pretty much every state allows absentee vote by mail already. So if that’s a slam dunk for vote fraud, it’s already solidly in place.
Will all 50 states agree to this? Remember, it is the states , not the federal government, who are the levels of government who oversee our elections.
And it is the states who determine how electors for president will be chosen.
Vote by mail ballots pass through too many hands. No thank you.
“ Cancelled or significantly delayed but definitely never by mail.”
You would have to change the Constitution to delay or cancel the election.
The leftist lunatic losers only understand force. May they all get their full measure of it.
The dems will push for online voting supplemented by mail-in for those that don’t have internet.
Ellen Weintraub who is calling for this is a Democrat.
I thought the crisis of the virus would be over before November.
No one knows when this will end. No one seems to have any clue what the endgame is.
Some are talking about these restrictions needing to stay in place until we have a vaccine. That could be more than a year.
Fraud would account for more votes than honest votes, so NO NO NO.
