Mail voting is available to all Americans. The existing laws and infrastructure are already there. Making everyone a mandatory mail in voter would be a relatively simple thing to do. I am already a mandatory mail voter. Many people are. If I want to vote in person, that's a hassle.

Exactly. It IS a hassle. It is a hassle that will keep people from voting. We have a president who lost the popular vote. We have a Senate where the majority party represents 44% of the US population. When majority rule is not in your favor, you do not want to make it easy for everyone to vote.
1). That doesn't change my thinking that they'll want everything back to normal by October. The state of the economy frequently plays into elections. If we're still shutdown with millions unemployed leading up to the election, that could adversely factor into how people vote. But if people are back to being employed and the stock market is climbing again -- yay status quo!2). Mandatory mail in voting would not happen. The election would get called off before that happens. There have been ... suggestions ... that making it easier for people to vote favors one party over another. I'll let you guess which way.Note: I'm not stating an opinion on the best course of action. This is just my thinking based on the cynicism that comes from having lived right outside of DC my whole life.
The comments for yesterday's tweet are a little more against CCI moving forward then I thought they would be. It seems a lot of people feel it should be postponed to 2021 and badges rolled over.

I thought the tweet was more leaning to moving forward with SDCC. They are now saying the peak will not happen until June-July. We need to stay home until the curve is at zero. SDCC would be a petri dish for this virus.
