In lieu of his canceling the election, which a president cannot do, Republicans will opt for a kind of mutilation of democracy.

. . .But protecting the vote this November will require more than optimism. New York University’s Brennan Center for Law and Justice published a set of policy prescriptions in mid-March that pushed, among other things, for modified siting of polling locations to better serve marginalized communities and high-risk populations, such as senior care facilities. It is vital that the in-person options remain available, says Brennan Center director Myrna Pérez. “It is going to be really hard for states to ramp up and get everybody voting 100 percent by mail, even if people were 100 percent behind that,” she says. “It is really putting all of our eggs in one basket.”

Voting by mail doesn’t open the doors to fraud, as Republicans claim, but it is not a panacea. According to Hannah Fried, the national campaign director for the advocacy organization All Voting Is Local, states that are home to indigenous tribes that don’t have regular postal service are not well served by vote-by-mail solutions. The recently signed Ballot Interference Prevention Act in Montana, a state whose June 2nd primary will be held entirely by mail, threatens that population specifically. (The ACLU is suing the state over the law.)

Civil-rights attorney Kristen Clarke says certain electorates are in disproportionate jeopardy because of the pandemic. “With churches shut down, campuses closed, and grassroots activists unable to knock on doors,” she notes, “some of the ways that we have traditionally brought African Americans and other people of color on the registration rolls have come to a grinding halt.”

Solutions such as same-day and online registration (and even voting) could possibly address those issues, but more comprehensive remedies are needed, and quickly. These are remedies that Republicans likely will oppose, or sully by requiring postage stamps for mailed ballots, a minor but effective poll tax. That means the voters themselves, especially those living in Republican-controlled states, have to pressure their elected officials to follow the example of Pennsylvania, which extended registration times and mail-in deadlines, and allowed registered voters to submit a ballot by mail up to 50 days before an election. . . .

1. Many already clearly are

Including 5 of our Justices who think it would be chaos to accept absentee ballots for an extra week, but hunky dory to force citizens to head out to vote in person in the middle of this.

This is no longer a political party.
These people are a death cult, who will burn us to the ground rather than lose an ounce of power.

Not every republican is a member of this cult.

But every republican who puts mammon, or their personal power above the welfare and very lives of the citizenry clearly is.

And Americans are very weary of "all of the winning" believe me. 😔
