Fear of the virus will affect voter turnout

[Under The Radar]

And low voter turnout helps the republicans. So exaggerations either direction will have affects. This is an area where the Truth will save lives.

1. I don't expect it to affect the primaries, at least not now. If there is a wide spread increase in

the US, maybe, depending on where you live and how your area has been hit. If you listen to the talking heads, you'd think it wasan epidemic in the US now, but I don't believe the people are panicing yet.

6. True but if the issue lingers into Nov...

2. Not to nitpick, but I think you mean AFFECT.

Effecting it could actually mean more people vote.

I don't normally do the grammar police thing, but here it could be interpreted in the opposite way you meant.

3. Republicans are scaredy cats though

5. There's also the honesty factor (or lack thereof)

When he announces the all-clear on the eve of the election. Only one side will believe him.

7. Bring Purell to the polling places. Encourage handwashing. Encourage knowledge...

...not ignorant fear.

12. It wouldn't stop me from voting this a****** out of office.

Even if it was guaranteed I was going to die after I voted. I would still vote if it would save this country.

13. Here is to hoping that you don't die before Election Day

14. Jeezus.

[Dem2theMax]

16. I might.

I have something called foraminal stenosis. Worst case scenario is paralysis and death. I'm seeing a neurosurgeon in a few weeks. GP wanted me to see the surgeon this week. Can't get in. All because the bean counters took too long to get my MRI approved.

Fingers crossed I'm still here in November so I can vote.

Death by coronavirus sounds pale in comparison.

18. Thank you.

Pretty much alone in this world, other than a few neighbors. So it's a little bit scary.
