If I read this chart correctly, California has 1.7 virus deaths per 100,000 population.
New York state has 47.8.https://t.co/BzIofcKOjO

"[D]octors estimated that more than 50 crew members would die" from the virus. OK. But it's two weeks later. Has anyone from the TR died? You'd think this NYT story would tell us. https://t.co/JeNnD6QZN3

BALLOT HARVESTING doesn't seem very compatible with social distancing. It's one thing to mail in a ballot. Another to have teams of strangers go around to hundreds of places collecting and handling pieces of paper. Appropriate to ban it for a cycle. https://t.co/LaGsCq3BhP

But if that's right you'd wind up with lots of governors issuing last minute election decrees (based on Constitution) that wind up in court. In practice, a mess every election.

Here's a question that seems trickier than you'd think: If a Fed judge can rejigger voting rules to protect Const. right to vote, why can't a State governor (no matter what state law says). Governors have to obey Constitution too, right? It's not only the duty of federal judges. https://t.co/HUIkkjcP5V

ONLY A LITTLE FRAUD! YOU WON'T EVEN NOTICE: Don't see how @NYTimes can justify the comically Woke Millennial Fan Service Resistance headline on this piece. Piece buries the Dem expert who thinks, yes, it's a recipe for fraud. https://t.co/30V0XW2miw
