Majority favors November mail-in ballots if coronavirus not contained: poll

[RandySF]

A majority of Americans said they think the government should allow mail-in ballots in the presidential election if the coronavirus pandemic has not abated by November, according to the results of a Reuters/Ipsos poll published Wednesday.

The poll had bipartisan support as 72 percent of respondents, including 79 percent that identified as Democrats and 65 percent that identified as Republicans, said they would support such a move if necessary to protect voters from the risk of the virus.

The same survey found that 89 percent of adults nationwide said they were concerned about the virus and 36 percent believe they will personally be infected over the course of the year.

The poll also found a decline in approval of President Trump’s handling of the pandemic, with 42 percent approving of the president's measures, down six points from last week.

2. Every Democrat in America must hammer this home.

From the rank and file to elected officials to the DNC and it’s echo chamber must hammer this home!

Biden needs to come out today and call for an expansion of mail voting, more precincts, more poll worker, and same day registration.

4. Poetic Justice. Trump's own failure to take this pandemic seriously, should

be the reason he loses in the mail-in ballot debate.

5. Rethugs will NEVER allow voting by mail....you and I both know that don't waste your breath.
