Current Events > Do you guys think we should just cancel the elections till this virus dies down.

(+) Yeah! (+)

First of all we have more important things to worry about than who is going to get the democratic nomination and that is all the news talks about and wastes so much time discussing when we have more important things to worry about.

Second of all in the unlikely event that Trump doesn't win the reelection do we really need to go through the hassle of changing administrations while a global crisis is going on we need to maintain a strong and solid leadership.

Third of all do we really want to have masses of people gathering in one place to cast votes all touching the same things from touchscreens to door handles all being in the same room coughing and sneezing which is how the virus is spread.

So in conclusion in the event of a national no a world wide health crisis do we really want to have this election when all it could do is help exacerbate the problem and spread the virus?

Do we really want large groups of people gathering while an unprecedented health emergency is underway. Just imagine how many people will get sick if a poll worker is infected and they are going around all day touching stuff and coughing and sneezing. That one person could infect thousands of others.

no

I would be happier if there were more test kits out there for the virus so we don't have to worry about people gathering together so much or people who want to work the elections.

Has an American presidential election ever been canceled?

No elections have ever been delayed or postponed but we have also never faced a public health crisis of this magnitude before and unprecedented events call for unprecedented actions. I think we should just cancel all elections that way we will maintain stable leadership and it will allow legislators to focus on protecting us from this virus instead of worrying about elections.
Just imagine all the good bloomberg could do if he focused his money on helping and preparing instead of running political ads.

Did you forget people could just mail in their ballot? It would never be canceled, short of the collapse of the U.S.

That would already be happening with all mail and shipping of things, not just in the U.S. but around the world. If that's your fear than there will be no election because the U.S. would have collapsed from the virus if it can't keep the post system going.
