NEW! What's next? I know . . . enough.
#SafeVoting is the new #ReopeningSchools. An honor to contribute @RANDCorporation report on health safety while voting. We enter a huge debate, but let's be clear: citizens need to feel confident that the act of voting won't kill them. 1/

Three parts were released today.
Part 1: Comprehensive review -- one (damn) state at a time -- of voting procedures for pandemic, including during these primaries.
Part 2: State by state readiness for "pandemic era" voting.
Part 3: Options for ensuring healthy elections.

It was important that Rand -- a non-partisan organization with strong ties to defense industry and not known for a liberal bent -- took this effort on. There is no question: voting from home is the safest from health perspective. But. . .3/

There are ways to mitigate potential health risks and we provide (wait for it) planning on how to do so for in person voting.
Schools are hard, of course, but our failures to plan for reopening can be cured with time.

I hope you will take the time to read these. Lots of good work being done to help us adapt to the era we live in.
No going back. Only through. Vote. 5/5
