Very few people I've talked to have any passion for the Primary vote...it's Supreme Court...

and

flying waaaay below the radar...this is the election of LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS ACROSS THE STATE...

City Aldermen
County Board Supervisors
Mayors
all non-partisan County Officials
Township and Village Boards and Chairpersons

The Republican not only refused to do the "by-mail" voting, they failed to amend the statutes so that all local officials currently holding office could hold their seats until a "mail-in" or an "in-person" election could be held to replace them...the current statutes says that ALL those positions expire on the Third Tuesday of April! NO EXCEPTIONS!
The Repubs refused to address that...the result would have been chaos!

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

Those who view voting as a civil obligation and essential service to country and state frazzled Apr 2020 #13

As you say, if you take precautions, voting is no more risky MineralMan Apr 2020 #14

Most likely those repubs are hoping Bernie can pull out a win to keep this going. nt Kahuna Apr 2020 #15

Doubtful, I think. They're only interested in the Supreme Court race. MineralMan Apr 2020 #16

I still believe they are following trump's lead and rooting for bernie. nt Kahuna Apr 2020 #18
