And it would be costly. A lot of county clerks do not like special elections because of the expense.

I think we will just have to leave it for now. Every state is in charge of its own elections, and there would not be any uniformity. We know already how fucked up everything is.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
