If they can put a mechanism in place in a short time that would allow some sort of remote voting maybe they could do it. Otherwise I'm not sure what they can or should do. Primary elections are not required except by the parties themselves (they are a relatively new invention).

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