How about expanding it instead. Two or three days... to allow for social distancing.

Allow any registered voter to show up and vote on ANY day... but suggest that voters space themselves out based on the day of their birth. If born on the 1st through the 10th... show up on day-1. If born on the 11th-20th... show up on day 2. If born on the 21st-31st... day three.

Lines would be less crowded and congested... voting centers would be less crowded.

Unfortunately, the borrowed spaces used for voting would need to be "returned" to the owner (church/school/community center) and the volunteers at the polling place didn't sign-up for three days.

Maybe this is something that can be put in place for the next epidemic.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
