official mailed all active registered voters ballot applications -- one of the first Republicans to push for such a significant shift to vote-by-mail. In Nevada, another Republican secretary of state, along with the state's county election officials, moved to a nearly all-mail election for the first time. In North Dakota, no polling sites were going to open.
In Nevada, North Dakota and South Carolina, voters are casting their ballots in down-ballot races for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, among other lower-profile races.But even as all five have largely transitioned from a traditionally run contest to one conducted by mail, the president has ramped up his attacks on the voting practice.
The contests are also the second slate of elections since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis by a white police officer, which sparked dozens of protests across the country. Last Tuesday, the elections took place in some cities under curfew due to the civil unrest, such as in Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, but most states managed to minimize the impacts of the demonstrations on voting.
In Georgia, where the presidential primary was postponed to ready the 2020 battleground for holding an election during the coronavirus, much of the attention on Tuesday extends beyond the state's pandemic adjustments and the contests for the top of the ticket. Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff arrives on stage to speak during his election night party being held at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North Hotel after returns show him winning/losing the race for Georgia's 6th Congressional District, June 20, 2017 in Atlanta.
Regardless of the pandemic, the quick adjustments and the entirely new protocols for elections across the five states, the coronavirus does not appear to have hampered participation.

I think the current system benefits from its errors.
If it’s not Russia it’s something else...
Why is it when i now hear “Make American great again”, all i hear is “i hope you’re still a knucklehead who believes I, realDonaldTrump, who hid when his Nation called his number to Service, really cares about America”? Is it b/c being fooled twice would be a shame?
