2020 ELECTION/DEMS/GOP/JOE BIDEN/VOTE BY MAIL/VOTING: “Joe Biden hired a senior staffer to work on voter protection issues, his presidential campaign said on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump again blasted states’ efforts to expand voting by mail in light of the coronavirus pandemic ahead of the Nov. 3 election.
Voting rights activists have filed dozens of lawsuits around the country to increase universal vote-by-mail and other ballot access measures, which Democrats say are needed to reduce long lines at polling sites that could increase the spread of COVID-19.
But Republican Party officials argue election fraud would increase if more voters are not required to appear in person to cast a ballot.”
