I now it won't happen but this really does seem to be the once in a lifetime event in which both parties should consider extending the election to the subsequent year. I mean, think about everything that goes into an election ... convention, campaigning, voting booths, etc.

I think this is even more unique than having an election during a World War since this is a time period in which large groups cannot assemble AND everything needs to be maintained in a germ-free manner.

Not sure what made me think of this ... I guess it just seems weird that there may be a high speed expedited election campaign in our near future. Let us just watch sports, relax and enjoy for the rest of the year. I'm not ready for this.

No, I am absolutely against postponing the election. We voted in the middle of the Civil War. We voted in the middle of WWII.

No, no, no, it is nonsense to postpone an election.

I was actually going to use WWI and WWII as comparable scenarios but then realized that voting during wartime may be the best way to express one's opinion about such decisions. I think this is different since we were in lockdown mode and are still recognizing some form of stay at home guidelines.
