You're brave. Sad to say, but we probably won't vote in CT in June, Biden is up by about 45%. George II Apr 2020 #3

I'm sure that CT has vote-by-mail options, does it not? W_HAMILTON Apr 2020 #20

Yes, we can send in absentee ballots. We don't have true vote by mail though. I suspect... George II Apr 2020 #21

Because they were literally forced to exercise their civic duty during a pandemic by the Republican-led state legislature, rather than said legislature opting for a safer alternative like temporary postponement or absentee ballot extension, can they sue?

That race is the reason why the republicans are forcing people to risk their life to vote rather than expand absentee ballots or postpone election.

In Waukesha, only 1 polling place is open.

The lines are already overwhelming.

I drove back to the school to take a look.

Parking lot is small. There was no line out the building.

Absentee voting is a huge percentage.

Over 30 % of people on the page that I was looking at had voted Absentee.

1. Most Americans are unaware of other states mail-in success. Mail in ballots. Millions of them.

2. Voting with social distancing.

3. Voting from cars.

4. Voting with protective gear

and finally

5. getting rid of ReThugs.
