“If left unchanged, our current electoral system poses a severe public health risk that could rapidly accelerate the spread of COVID-19 while disenfranchising countless voters and calling into question the legitimacy of our elections. Just like our healthcare system and our economy, our elections infrastructure will need a massive infusion of resources to ensure that elections can go on and every voter has access to the ballot during the COVID-19 pandemic,” the letter reads.

[Cozmo]

2. Thank God

This is critical. We must take action now to ensure that elections are protected. Let's not have any "I told you so" this November.

[BlueIdaho]

3. Let's start with a Federal mandate to require all states

To offer mail-in ballots as a necessary option. Then watch the states demand federal financial support.

8. i was just going to say and thinking about that, thanks

[BlueIdaho]

9. Great minds eh?

[Igel]

10. That's what this is.

"Please send check."

4. GOP wants immediate action to make voting harder in cities

due to crowding and the general liberal Democratic leanings of the voters there. So they'll just having voting in the rural areas since they have space and conservative voters.

5. All one has to do is look at the Electoral College of 1877 to see, read and understand

how the traitor in the white house can get re-elected............................this is why we need the mail in ballots, a simple breakdown is that if a majority of people in a "red" state vote for democratic presidential candidate, then that elector from that "red state' in the House must give that lone vote to the democratic president candidate, it is that simple....................the issue is will the Sec of that given state certify those mail in ballots...........................

6. VA-05 African American Family will use option 2A

VA State Board of Elections: “Voters may choose reason ‘2A My disability or illness’ for Absentee voting in the May 2020 elections due to COVID-19.”

7. Senator, I mean Governor Bullock has

decreed that all voting in Montana will be done by mail for the primary and GE. Did that about a week ago, maybe ten days. We have a strong set if voting rules/laws that strictly regulate lots of outside or special interest funding.

11. FAT CHANCE!

WE will NOT get any help from Trump and the GOP controlled Senate. NONE.

[McCamy Taylor]

12. But Trump thinks if only rural voters dare vote he wins

So expect Moscow Mitch to obstruct.

[McCamy Taylor]

13. Do the states decide how they will vote?

If so blue states will help, red states will obstruct and purple states will decide based upon how many COVID deaths they have had. Really surprised that Trump snubbed Michigan.
