All Nebraska primary voters will be invited to vote by mail if they wish

All Nebraska registered voters will be mailed an application form that will allow them to vote in the May 12 primary election by mail or through a drop box if they prefer to avoid crowd contact that they would encounter by going to the polls.

But polling places will be open as usual and sanitized with provisions in place for separation of voters, Secretary of State Bob Evnen said Thursday.

Gov. Pete Ricketts encouraged voters to request an early ballot if they wish while recognizing that polling places will take "appropriate precautions" to protect voters who may wish to cast their votes in person on Election Day.

"The May 12 primary will go forward as planned," the governor said during his daily coronavirus press briefing. "It's important to hold elections … vital for our republic."

Best to get the bugs worked out now on largely meaningless primaries.

"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."

"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
