Plenty of places to meet candidates other than the polling places.
And as I said…this wasn’t his first take on the subject.
His first take on the subject was that those who voted by mail were lazy and “doing it wrong”.
Polling places being one of them and traditional. For rural voters, it was often their only opportunity.
He has an opinion, is it less valid than yours?
Yes it is less valid than mine because it is based on zero evidence.
he has evidence. Careful your ego.
He has evidence that people who vote mail in are lazy?
Lol!
Is it in the same secret vault where all the evidence of massive voter fraud resides?
Yes…
Well trot it out.
Thanks.
According to Politico 36 out of 400,000 voters and election workers have tested positive for coronavirus since the primary on April 7.
According to Wikipedia, the Wisconsin has added about 3500 new cases since April 7. The population of Wisconsin is 5,850,000, which means that there should be about 240 new cases in the portion of the population who went to the poles.
Voters got less than 40 cases instead of the expected 240. That means that voting may have prevented roughly 200 cases of COVID-19. The incubation period is typically less than two weeks, so it is unlikely that any new cases are a result of the voting from three weeks ago.
Is voting at a poll really so dangerous that we need to call off conventional elections?
States normally allow absentee ballots, to people who have real health concerns should be able to vote by mail with no change to the laws. Why is there such a push to send out ballots?

Perhaps you could show his math?
People at the polls were social distancing, masked, and had hand sanitizers and brought their own pens. They weren’t crammed together packing meat or taking care of frail elderly people.
Also. What does this paragraph mean?

400,000 voters / 5,850,000 people = 6.84% of the population voted
3500 cases x 6.84% = 239 cases expected for the voters
The reported number is only 36 cases.
Voters have far fewer cases then would be expected based on their portion of the population.
Vote early and often to stay healthy.

So you’re counting every single case starting from the day after the election? Three weeks worth of cases? The math doesn’t work that way. But thank you for showing me what numbers you were using.
Also, yes. The election was not held like a normal election. Enforced social distancing, masks, hand sanitizer, sanitizing surfaces, protective clothing, no sharing of pens. So yes, because of all that, it was safer to vote this time over say going to the grocery store or a crowded park. It was absolutely not a regular old day at the polls.
On April 7 there were 2,578 reported cases.
As of April 27, there are 6,081 reported cases. That is an increase of 3503 cases since the primary.
According to Politico, 36 people who voted have tested positive since April 9.
There were 2,885 cases on April 9, which reduces the number of new cases for the state to 3196. That still gives 217 expected cases for voters based on their portion of population (6.84%).
Any way you slice it the number of cases from voters is less than what would be expected for the general population.
Lol ok Bill.
Again, read what I read about how this particular election was held.
Success! Social distancing works! Hand sanitizer! Masks! Don’t share pens! Put up plexiglass betwixt the voter and the worker.
All that stuff worked.
