Instead, I hope early voting gets used more. Open more polling places, open them up a couple of weeks before the election, and extend the hours. Basically make it possible to socially distance.


Most states and a lot of people aren't ready for it. Ballots are getting rejected due to missing signatures, being sent late, lacking postmarks, etc.



In New Jersey, 7% of absentee ballots were rejected

Same thing in New York:

"In New York, more than 1.7 million mail ballots were requested for the June primary, compared with about 115,000 that were submitted during the 2016 presidential primary.

The deluge overwhelmed election officials, who are still tabulating the results of some races. In the process, large numbers of mail ballots have been rejected because they arrived late, were missing a postmark or lacked a voter signature — as much as 19 percent in parts of Manhattan and Queens and 28 percent in parts of Brooklyn, according to preliminary tabulation figures obtained by The Washington Post."
