Dr. Fauci: There's No Reason People Can't Vote Safely in Person
Townhall ^ | 08/14/2020 | Katie Pavlich

One of the most highly contentious issues of the 2020 presidential cycle is whether it will be safe for Americans to vote in person on November 3, 2020.

For weeks Democrats have held up crucial Wuhan coronavirus relieve packages while demanding billions of dollars for the Post Office in order to bolster mass mail in voting. In California, a state without voter identification laws and outdated registration records, Governor Gavin Newsom plans to mail every registered voter a ballot ahead of election day. Recent elections in New York, New Jersey and West Virginia have proven mass mail in voting schemes lead to fraud and extremely delayed results.

But according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, an original member of President Trump's Wuhan Coronavirus Taskforce, voting in person can be done safely.

"What about voting? So many people are concerned. We are in an election year. Some people are going to be heading to the polls in the next few weeks, can people go out and vote in person given there is so much concern about the vote?" ABC News' Deborah Roberts asked Fauci during a recent interview.

"I think if carefully done according to the guidelines, there's new reason I can see that not being the case. For example, when you look at going to a grocery stores now in regions and counties and cities that are doing it correctly, they have x's every six or more feet and it says don't leave this spot until the person in front of you left their spot, and you an do that. If you go and wear a mask, if you observe the physical distancing and don't have a crowded situation, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to do that," Fauci said. "There's no reason we shouldn't be able to vote in person."

They won’t use this on the so called major networks, instead they have him saying we can’t reopen schools.

So, we have the clown doc’s latest pronouncement.
It’ll change due to the winds, the temperature, or the percentage of fart gas in the room in a few hours.

No one gives an Obama about this idiot any more.

Don’t be so tough on Dr. Fauci! He’s merely reporting what his Magic Eight Ball said about voting in person.

I think it’s appropriate in his case as head of Infectious diseases. His opinion that voting in-person will NOT cause spikes in Covid-19 is quite important and related to his position.

Anti science Freepers disagree. Fauci is always wrong because he has a Phd and is a scientist

Somehow, thru this whole hyped crisis, most of us have been going to the grocery story every week or so and lining up at the checkout. If we can do that, we can line up at the voting stations.

If they can go to the store and shop, which everyone is now doing, why not?

I’m reserving judgment because given his track record Fauci could change his mind again six hours from now.
