They will turn out. In most places polling places are not crowded during primary elections, so simple sanitary precautions should reduce the risk to near zero.

In reality, older voters are more likely to show up at the polling place in these conditions. Younger voters will just find the conditions one more reason NOT to participate in our Democratic process.

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