Dr. Anthony Fauci said it should be safe for people to vote in person as long as they take sufficient precautions.
“I think if carefully done according to the guidelines, there’s no reason that I can see why that not be the case,” Dr. Fauci told National Geographic in an interview that aired Thursday.
“You can do that,” said Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “If you go and wear a mask, if you observe the physical distancing and don’t have a crowded situation, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to do that.”
He said people who are at higher risk or don’t want to take the chance can have a vote-by-mail option.
Just expand the in-person voting period by opening the polling places for several days in a row to avoid crowds, instead of opening them for just one day.
As a welcome side effect, this should help those working long hours or unusual shifts too. Afaik, that's how Texas is approaching the situation.
Reserve mail-voting for those who really need it, or who would really have to expose themselves to an extraordinary risk with in-person voting.
