I think the democrats would be more prepared and caution if they were out and about especially if they were going to be trapped in a polling place for hours.

I do respect them for going out to vote. Everyone of us (that still have a primary coming up and without no excuse mail-in options) have to make the same decision based on our own age and health.

In fact the masked woman in front of me turned to comment on it and I replied with "I guess we know where they get their news from," getting a nod and knowing look in return.

Every day right here on DU, I read numerous posts about this or that DUer’s trip to the grocery store, the Walmart, the park, the Costco....some post quite often about their trips out.

I guess you were also out yesterday?

They have lots of elections going on today in WI, it's not just the Democratic primary.

Didn't the Democratic governor call this off to protect the WI public, but the Repub legislature and court overrule him?

Who is MOST likely to go out and stand in a line to push their own politics on others THIS week?

Fox "News" zombies.

WI Republican poitical leaders know this.

And Trump himself urges Repubs to vote in Dem primaries to try to get him the socialist candidate to run against.

Why didn't they at least wear something over their mouths and nose? Damn, I am so glad I don't live in WI and have this horrible choice. I made sure to early vote in FL, but bet the WI repugs don''t let their citizens do that.
