I would contend that the turnout will be significantly higher in 2020 compared to 2016.
So Trump can leave the WH to play golf on many, many, many occasions, but he is unable to leave the WH to go home to vote. Very interesting.
To provide a different perspective, in Australia the leaders of the respective parties use it as a photo opportunity when voting in person. One wonders why Trump is so coy for this election and choosing to vote by mail.

What extenuating circumstances precludes Trump from voting in person but doesn’t preclude him from playing golf in person?

Why am I not surprised you don’t care?

It’s the same thing in the US.
Candidates’ home towns have usually been their last stop while campaigning (even when they’re incumbent).
Then they vote at their hometown precinct for the photo op and then have their watch party in, if not their hometown, at least their home state.
One would think President Trump, in his zeal to prove mail in voting is full of fraud and that it’s safe to vote in person, would set an example and keep the tradition Presidential candidates have kept for decades.
One is not surprised those who are parroting his lines and trying to show how brave THEY are by voting in person are not at all curious why the President is not doing so.

because you know theres a legit reason but need to make some ridiculous narrative anyway
that’s why you are not surprised.
Pull the quote where Fauci said, or implied, “it isn’t necessary”.
What do you think he meant when he said: “Fauci added that individuals who are “compromised physically or otherwise” and who are not interested in physically going to the polls on Election Day, can use mail-in voting.”?

Well this really sucks. Heres a list of in-person fraud occurring at the polls… Damn, I guess we can’t vote by any means since we can’t hit that 100% threshold

Well, that part was omitted from the OPs Fox link of Fox News “reporting” of an ABC interview.

No, denying people of an avenue to vote that has been afforded for quite some time (even if certain conservatives weren’t aware of that) and attempting to force them to vote in person in the midst of a pandemic is an un-necessary risk.
Here in CO, we’ve been doing mail-in ballots for quite some time now… really surprised I haven’t heard you chime in until now (kidding… totally kidding. lol). Look at all the cases of fraud that have occurred here:
Crazy, right?
And I believe last POTUS election, CO had the highest percentage of participating voters of any state. Thats a good thing? Don’t you want more people to vote and participate in our elections? Because what you’re suggesting unnecessarily disenfranchises a large number of people, particularly right now.
No, Read your own link. Fauci clearly says “if” people wear masks and social distance… I guarantee not all will be. Undoubtedly there will be Trumpers unwilling to wear a mask because they’ll say people are trying to scare voters, sway opinions, etc. You guys whine like kids for 5 minutes in a store… you honestly think I believe you’ll stand in line potentially for hours wearing your mask? Right…
And let’s be clear, haven’t you been one the folks bitching against masks this entire time?

Define “very prone” in this context?
Election fraud related to mail-in ballots is roughly 0.00006% percent, which according to you should be characterized as “very prone”. Being struck by lightening in a given year has a similar chance, roughly 0.000002%… would you say that people are “very prone” to being stuck by lightening annually?

Hold up. You think in-person voter fraud doesn’t happen?
I can’t believe to see what else you have to say…

you made a claim… and then continue to claim it’s credible. Credibility is not achieved by stating the same thing over and over… credibility is achieved by supporting your claim with evidence.
Far as I can tell, Im the only one who has linked actual cases to you. Where is your evidence of anything you’re trying to claim here?
Your narrative is dead, yes. Because int he same interview, the part you keep ignoring, he also said: “Fauci added that individuals who are “compromised physically or otherwise” and who are not interested in physically going to the polls on Election Day, can use mail-in voting.”

Remind us all again of your position on masks and other guidelines in public spaces?
Because I’m pretty damn positive you’ve been going on all along about how ineffective masks are, how people wearing them are just “sheeple”, how it’s stealing your liberty.
I bring this up, because it’s literally people like you that have made it abundantly clear that you can’t go out and expect everyone to wear a mask, practice distancing, etc. Are we all suppose to believe that on election day you’re going to don a mask and convert to a “sheep” and let your constitutionally guaranteed liberties be ripped from you?
You, your very own self, have stated multiple times that you won’t wear masks… was just reading one of your posts where you’re waiting for some people to pull you off some bus for refusing to be masked. You, with your own statements, have provided the very reason for people like me to be skeptical of people like you not willing to follow the guidelines.
