Joe good afternoon, everyone. I just finished speaking about the pandemic, the steps we need to curb the spread of the virus, and the challenges of distributing a safe and effective vaccine once one is identified. Before i turn to those issues, let me say a few words about the president s comments last night. Even before acknowledging to bob woodward on tape that he was fully informed on the gravity of the danger related to covid19, he refused to warn the American People. Again, last night, in a Television Town hall, the president revealed in no Uncertain Terms a lack of seriousness with which he continues to take this pandemic. Nearly eight months after this crisis, on the door step of 200,000 american deaths, trump refused once again to take responsibility or to take action.

Because there has been a long history of it but it is a different scenario now. We all want fair am a secure, timely elections, but we have three essential problems facing this upcoming president ial election. First, the Global Pandemic, which none of us have ever seen, throughrough, or voted before. Second, the emerging tactics of a white house that is moving to very broadly and very clearly suppress the vote and third, the impact of both the white house strategy and the Global Pandemic on marginalized groups. That included black, brown, native, or those with differing disabilities, etc. In the past, in different administrations when the question of suppression came up, it could be put squarely on how the state treated black folks. It lost drew lines, how ballots, and that sort of thing. How they had been targeted by state policy but it is more complicated now. Moment where the administrations tactic is bolder, broader, and in some levels, it is extremely transparent and that tactic i
