I just voted absentee

In Missouri, I just vote absentee at my county courthouse and they take your temperature. Ok... but my question I asked them, what If i had a temperature, do I lose my vote? They said, take that up with the secreatary of state. I asked again, would I be able to vote if I had a temperature, they said, " no, you should of been smart enough coming in with a temperature".

So, I voted.

Now time to raise some action!

First, if a person requests an absentee ballot and sent it in, how in the heck do they know if they had a temperature when they voted?

Second, covid is not an excuse to lose the right to vote, especially election day.

Third, neither of the county officers HAD MASK ON!

Don't know about Missouri but surely they have some mechanism for that.

Small county, the clerk told me a fever...
1. What if I had a cold, not the virus?
Or, their temperature gauge is wrong
Or they did not like me and just said I had a fevwr.

They are not doctors!

Postal workers deliver mail all the time and collect the outgoing mail from C19. What the difference in an election worker rather than postal carrier?

Second, hand sanitizer is the key! Simply put the hand sanitizer on after they handle the ballots!

what is the frickin difference between cash and a ballot? Just what they are, they are BOTH made of paper.

This is simply to disinfrachancie the voters!
