...including, apparently, several important local and city government positions whose terms will expire in just a few short weeks, so, what other option is there? The Democratic governor there tried to move to an all vote-by-mail system, but Republicans shut that idea down, along with apparently postponing election day (since it apparently is set by state law).

Republicans are probably giddy for low turnout, given that there is a state supreme court seat up for election that day as well.

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