THE BIG issue is how do trump suporters vote? As they have been told by trump not to do

mail in ballots AND NOW face the reality that COVID is a REAL THREAT. Same day in person voting may NOT BE acceptable now for many of these voters.

Its a glorious quandary

they will say it's less than the flu and no restrictions at all will be used. He needs to get really sick or this will get worse.

I also suspect that many Republicans who aren't avid Trump supporters will stay home as well and won't vote.

It is far easier not to vote than to vote. Many are going to take the easier path.

That makes it even more important for all Democrats to vote in whatever way they can. If possible, I suggest voting early if your state offers that option. I also suggest dropping off your ballot at an official local government ballot collection location, if that is an option in your state. If you can't vote early, though, mask up and head for your polling place, after checking to see where they have moved it to.
