Think of the unnecessary physical contact taking place at the polls

There's no possible way that Bernie wins the nomination. He needs to do his part to help prevent the spread of disease by dropping out.

Think of the poll workers we will need this November.

1. No doubt there will be a MASSIVE increase in absentee voting, in November

I'm assuming there's a way to track and make sure your ballot was received and recorded. If not, I'll brave the precinct.

If you can vote by absentee, go ahead and do it. I think that you can trust that once your ballot is in your election's office hands, it will be counted.

8. Yes, indeed. C'mon Bernie. Do the right thing.

I'm cautiously optimistic he will - there are benevolent forces herding the Dem primary. Those same forces contributed to Warren and others dropping out at very appropriate and helpful times.

3. Early numbers in Florida

Indicate more votes than in 2016.
Under the circumstances that is incredible.

People may be saying, “My chance of getting the virus at the polling place is less of a risk than having Trump for another 4 years.”

Go Biden!
(and thank you Bernie for all you've done; now come on over and help us save this country in November)

4. I didn't vote this time. I'm avoiding people.

But I'll vote at the earliest convenience to remove trump.

It was actually genius of me. I'm immune compromised and I'm staying alive to vote in November.

5. Anything else than conceding now is irresponsible

BS has to know it's over but I'm sure they'll send another e-mail to beg for more money.
There is still a need for some kind of elections, maybe by mail, for all the other down ballot races.
But the math is clear and the polls for the coming states all favor Biden as well. The splitting of the delegates makes the race appear way closer than it is while masking the margins BS needs to win to get even with Biden.

Nice idea in theory, but recounts are impossible and the machines are extremely vulnerable to intrusion. Plus, icky screens.
