Amazing. Conservatives, who demand voter ID, are fighting for the right not to wear masks when they vote.

If I knew my side largely didn't believe in wearing masks and thought the other side would prefer to avoid maskless crowds, then fighting to vote without masks might seem to me like a great way to intimidate their side into not showing up at the polls

1. It seems the Supreme Court is being abused to solve the stupidest stuff.

5. Ba dumm tssssssss

3. This wont be taken up

Minnesota has adopted procedures to accommodate Maskholes.

4. Give the anti-maskers 1 machine at 1 polling place.

Don't bother cleaning it between voters. And move the poll workers somewhere safe.

Unbelievable.

7. Great idea! Set up 1 MASKLESS polling place per county,

Staffed by an anti masker (assuming one is available). Let them infect each other in long lines.

9. Too Texas, but good thinking !

6. They're all for the primacy of state's rights

and squawk about originalism until they're convinced they can, as the OP puts it, abuse the Supreme Court and shove their regressive preferences down our collective throat.

They're dangerous and irksome.

Time for a code blue.

8. The policy in Ohio is masks are mandatory . . .

but not enough to keep you from voting if you are asked to put one on and you refuse.

Incidentally, it's the same rule they are adopting as to what you are wearing.

That said - In the 3 hours I stood in line today (mostly outdoors), I only saw 3 unmasked voters. I don't know if they put them on when they went inside or not.

I had been really annoyed that they were making this exception, but since the general thinking is that if 95% of us are wearing masks it's good enough, in practice - in my county - it worked out well.
