Current Events > Realistically, what will happen in November with voting and this virus?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Americas lack of ability to control this virus is going to make the election a complete mess, when paired with certain states banning mail in ballots entirely.

Will people sit out of the election because theyre too scared to go vote in person? With lots of sick people, there wont be enough staff to run all the polling locations across the country...which will mean even longer lines at the open polls.

I think we should all be slightly terrified or concerned about whats gonna happen in November, as its clear the virus wont be going away anytime soon.

November is some months away so I'm hoping the infection spike has calmed down by then.

This is what the Trump admin is hoping for, and why some states are banning mail in ballots. It's possibly the only way he can win reelection at this point

I believe Trump purposefully allowed it to get like this so the election will be drastically impacted, if not postponed. The ones who will be turning out to vote in person are his cultists that think it's a hoax...unless a huge chunk of them die off from not taking it seriously..

But that also gives him more credit than he deserves...because he's also an idiot.

Either way, what a fucking mess. I've been saying it for months that the election needs to be a priority topic of discussion.

Agreed. Its about to become a huge shit show, with some heavy rioting side effects I think.

Theres not a single situation I can imagine where I dont see huge unrest erupting in November.

I'm talking about the infection rate. Deaths can't go down dude.

All Trump supporters will go out and vote no matter what. Trump will get reelected. The vast majority of his supporters will die off from infecting each other. But it won't matter because in his second term Trump will start a new global catastrophe that reduces the remaining population by 25%. The remaining members of humanity will join together under AOC to form a new utopia. History never records what happens to Donald Trump. Some believe he escaped to live out his remaining years in Brazil.

They tried this in Wisconsin during the primaries by denying people the ability to do mail-in ballots. It backfired and Democrats showed up because they were pissed off, and they won a state supreme court seat.

I dunno, there were mail ballot shenanigans from the GOP in WI for our primary and that absolutely backfired on them. They lost the state supreme court majority which will change over in August.

^nice almost same time post

Realistically? People will have to go vote in person or go fuck themselves.

I'm sure the lines will be so long some people might not get to vote

expect even worse riots if that happens
