The more I read, the more I become convinced that COVID be damned, it's imperative that as many Democratic voters as possible get to the polls in person to prevent Trump from declaring a premature early landslide victory.

I realize that mail-in voting is as attractive as all get-out as an option, but this election it's got the potential to help trigger a Constitutional crisis and really needs to be avoided if at all possible.

Yeah, the lines will be daunting, but once you realize that social distancing is making them appear to be way longer than they actually are, half the battle is won.

And remember that if Democrats stay away it will make it that much easier on Republicans who will have shorter waits as a result.

This election may be impacted significantly by the side that's most committed to waiting on line to vote for its candidate.

Consider your health first, but if you're not at risk, PLEASE don't take the easy way out!

AND PLEASE PASS IT ON!

Amen to that, Artie. My wife and I have not requested mail-in ballots because we don't want to add to the already-overloaded postal system. Luckily for us, lines are always short in our small town but we will avail ourselves of the opportunity for early voting. Our county has made five locations available on many dates. We will wear masks and observe social distancing, of course.

Clarification: As Jon has pointed out, waiting in line isn't the only solution to the problem.

Just make sure that your vote is counted BY election day, NOT afterwards, by whatever means suit your situation best.
