It is outright fear-mongering because the issue that is not being discussed is that most "poll workers" are the very definition of "HIGH RISK" people who can contract the virus by sitting in an enclosed location for hours and hours with the hope their locales can get them the proper PPE at the level that a hospital might have (doubtful).
Plus there are states like mine (PA) that have no "early voting" and being in a city (Philadelphia) that for some idiotic reason, decided to purchase ES&S touchscreen machines in 2018, and when I used one for the first time, it took twice as long waiting in line to vote, during a slow time of the day, because of the abject confusion (particularly by the actively-voting 80-somethings) about how to use them. And worse, I can't "touch" the printed ballot with my final selections to examine for correctness, nor could I barely even "see" what was on the printout because the chute was unlit and there was not enough overhead light to illuminate it. I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.
The compromise solution is to make SECURE and MONITORED (yes by "all parties" ) drop boxes available to drop off any "late-to-complete" "mail-in"/"absentee" ballots.
