True regardless of where they are, and whether they are run by republicans or democrats, are trying to find a way to give voters options, ways they can vote that they feel safe, and feel convenient to them. This means expanded voting in almost every case. Every state is going to see a Record Number of ballots received by mail. It also means expanded early voting, finding appropriate voting sites for voting in a pandemic, which means they need to be large enough to accommodate social distancing. Also making sure that Election Officials can recruit enough poll workers to staff those sites. We need about one million poll workers in the president ial election, but the fast majority but the majority of poll workers historically have been over the age of 60.
