There are thousands of offices to be filled by that election, some terms expiring within two weeks. I am afraid that the Governor chose a bad hill to die on when the total picture is examined. I do believe that he should press mail-in voting, as should democrats across the country, these times demand that, he is more likely to prevail on such an effort.
