YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThinking ahead to the November elections, a huge question-mark hangs over voting: What do most voters want to do and dare to do? Vote in person? or stay at home and vote by mail? For an answer, take a look at recent elections in Ohio and Wisconsin..
To millions of Americans, going to the polls on Election Day and casting your ballot in person is a vital civic duty, a powerful ritual, a personal affirmation of American democracy. You stand in line with your neighbors and walk away in quiet pride with a flag on your lapel stating simply but clearly, "I voted."
Suddenly corona has raised the stakes: Vote and risk catching the virus or stay at home and vote in solitary safely? Since the lockdown, Ohio and Wisconsin have held elections.They show that, given a choice, large majorities prefer voting by mail. Ohio decreed 100% voting by mail. Wisconsin voters were given a choice and three times as many people chose to vote by mail as voted in person. So the lesson for other states is clear: Get Ready.
