As the coronavirus pandemic threatens multiple waves of illness including a possible spike in the fall, states are scrambling to find alternatives to in-person voting, but there are more obstacles than options.

Many Republicans and Democrats agreed that what happened at Wisconsin’s spring election was a case study in what not to do. Lines of masked voters, forced to crowd at few open polls manned in part by National Guardsmen, cast ballots amid confusion over whether the election would happen at all.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, tried to postpone in-person voting amid coronavirus concerns, but the state’s Supreme Court ruled in favor of the GOP-controlled legislature, calling the move constitutional overreach. Separately, a conservative majority in the United States Supreme Court slapped down an attempt to extend absentee voting because of the state’s election laws.

“The aftermath produced at least a half dozen confirmed coronavirus cases linked to election activities and warnings from both sides of the aisle that efforts to avoid the same outcome in November must be undertaken with care.”

This article appears to be a trick pony. The agreement on problems in the voting process is unrelated to Covid cases.

A half dozen cases out of all who voted. SIX!

The way Dems were shouting about death this promised to be the first time in history that Democrats voted then died.

If truly worried about people in contact in November people would be thinking about moving Thanksgiving to August.
