President Donald Trump has launched a battle against mail-in voting in the 2020 elections, which health experts say is crucial to limiting the spread of coronavirus, but which he fears would favor Democratic rival Joe Biden.
Long lines at voting stations during primaries earlier this year showed the risk to voters and poll workers, who are often older retirees. That means in a short time localities have to get more materials and machinery prepared, and get the information and ballots to voters. "This is the largest transformation of the infrastructure of American elections in the nation's history, and we are doing it in a four-month period," Persily said."Right now many of them are not ready."Persily says more than 130 lawsuits have been filed across the country over mail-in voting.
