What happens in November if more and more states postpone and then postpone again?

Why not just mark paper ballots with a pen and insert it into the scanner?

If vote by mail isn't an option, priorities need to be set. Especially for a primary with a very clear frontrunner and with the other candidate being down in the polls in pretty much all the states that are left, this is just needlessly putting people at risk.

(44,274 posts)Since you are concerned about safety, I'm sure you'll support cancelling all of the remaining primaries and declaring Biden the nominee. Unless, of course, safety isn't really what is motivating your desire to stop the nominating process.

(1,866 posts)It's time for Sanders to step down. My primary is this Tues but I wish he would've stepped down before. We have a lot of older voters in Florida. Just found out that the University I attend (the library is a polling location) has 6 cases of the coronavirus.

(15,700 posts)His whole appeal is built on throwing bricks as long as there are bricks to throw, and there are many who rely on him to keep the show going as long as he possibly can, so he will. The only way to get him out is to force him out. How that might work I don't know. But counting on his higher angels will get us nothing more than it got Hillary in 2016.
