Preparations include a raft of increased, such as separating voters and judges with plexiglass separators, spacing outlines and disinfecting surfaces.
None of the states reached out to by ABC News said they are prepared to turn away voters who refuse to wear masks, but many said they are making preparations, like trying to head off crowds by encouraging people to use mail-in ballots and or allowing curbside voting and special booths where workers can wear protective equipment.In this June 2, 2020, file photo, people wearing masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 wait to vote in the primary election in Philadelphia.
But staying calm may not always be so easy. During the Minnesota primary in August, the city of Minneapolis reported 21 incidents where voters refused to wear masks, according to Grace Wachlarowicz, an assistant city clerk who helped run the election. Although the right to vote supersedes the state's mask mandate, she said voters still faced potential penalties for refusing to comply, or for turning down alternative voting options.
"For challenges like these, the law asks how heavy is the policy's burden on voting?" he said."Here, the burden on voting is trivial; it's perfectly easy to cast a ballot while wearing a mask." "The risk will not be shared equally," the lawsuit alleges, because of indications that Black and Latino voters are at a disproportionately high risk of being infected by the virus. The legal challenge was dismissed in August by a federal judge.A man wears a mask while voting, June 29, 2020, in Houston. Early voting for the Texas primary runoffs began Monday.
Good? They should!
Ok am new at this Twitter what are the icon
If you can require a mask, you can require an ID.
no it does not, room for masked, room for unmasked with staffers in there in full gear
Ask or force
Easy have ONE location per county that is completely maskless. If Texas only has one drop box per county this has to be fair as well.
I don't care going to wear my mask in vote.
Hand out masks, its not rocket science, just science!
At least 33 states will ask voters to wear masks at polling stations
Do you think conservatives will justify the coronavirus and the inevitable failure of the coronavirus?
Why don’t they put voting booths in the grocery stores ? That would solve a lot of problems !?
Not Florida I bet. GovRonDeSantis has a track record of making the worst decisions for his constituents.
And what smart person wouldn't want to wear one to keep people safe. W really should be beyond that now but well ya know

Only 33? 🤦🏽♀️

Wear a mask! Do anything necessary to get up, and get out to vote!
Well duh!!!!! Since we’re asked to wear masks everywhere else why would a polling place be any different Pretty sure we’ll still be able to vote wearing a mask.
Wait - only 33 are doing this
This is discrimination! They're trying to suppress stupid people from voting.
Who cares, let’s vote!
It's insane that they have to ask in the first place.
Lmfao
MimiTexasAngel Only 33? WTF is wrong with this country?
All 50 states should require it!

How does this title not read “Masks required nationwide to cast ballots at a polling place”?
Well I just it will be easy to pick out the Trump supporters
33? Man, the USA is fucked up hahaha
TheJusticeDept kyoag GovAndyBeshear KYSecState States that would turn away voters without masks would be breaking the law. That would be unconstitutional & voter suppression. States that try to force this or or turn anyone away should sued & investigated by TheJusticeDept
POTUS has covid-19..... They need to ALL be requiring them.
No Mask , No vote. That should eliminate most trumpers that refuse to 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
That’s only logical. I suggest that and face shield. Face shield should not be worn alone. I’ve seen several people with just face shield on. I see no one listens to the experts
33?
makes sense to me
What is wrong with leadership in the other 17 states?
Only 33?
Only 33 Madness.
With the case levels in Wisconsin, I am so glad I made the decision to vote by mail already!
Masking and socially distancing should be the expectation for doing just about anything.
I hope Trump can't be president anymore 🙏🏼
Every state should. Science!!!
Let me guess, 17 red states are too stupid to do it?

33 Why is ALWAYS freemason signalling?
