Coronavirus threatens the US election. Voting by mail could save it.

On April 7, 2020, as the coronavirus held much of the US under lockdown, the state of Wisconsin held an election. Many other states had already decided to delay their spring elections to protect voters. But in Wisconsin, voters were forced to choose between participating in the election, and their own safety. Wisconsin's decision sparked outrage, but it also highlighted a question that the US really needs to figure out soon: How do you hold an election during a pandemic?

Fortunately, there's actually a simple solution to this one: voting by mail. Tens of millions of Americans already vote this way, and if the rest of the US can prepare their election systems in time for the November election, they could avoid Wisconsin's fate. But time's running out.

I guarantee most state legislatures will not have a plan in place by October.

“There is nothing political about voting.” If that is true, why is voting vital to the political process?

Can someone tell me why Rep. David Ralston is complaining that "this will be extremely devastating to Republicans and conservatives in Georgia"?
A vote should be able to represent the opinion of it's voters. Shouldn't the voter participation be at 100% in a "perfect" world?

I get that he is afraid of his party losing percentage points but isn't his attitude quite anti-democratic?

"There's nothing political about voting, " I mean, I get that he meant partisan, but that was still a hilarious way to phrase that.
