Not if COVID-19 is still around and we do things in the usual way! Nobody knows for sure what the situation will be on November 3. But the medical experts give the impression that we will still need to do social distancing that day. And that is impossible with the way we have been doing our elections. We all remember the long lines of people standing too close to each other and then approaching tables where numerous (often older) persons help us sign in and vote. If COVID-19 still requires social distancing this November, people will be afraid to serve in the polling stations and voters will be afraid to stand in line. And all that will be compounded by the fact that voter turn out will probably be huge this November.
