The idea of letting citizens vote should not be a Democratic versus Republican issue any more than taking steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Yet, it has become a partisan issue.

This really should be reframed, because I would think that even average Republicans are not going to be eager to wait in line for hours to cast their ballot. In Utah, most everyone votes by mail.
