Is there something we can do to help each other to vote in person during a pandemic?

Every Biden voter should do whatever possible to help other Biden voters to vote in person during this election. We need to brave the ballot box and mitigate the threat of the virus to collectively minimize as much as possible Trump's attempts to cancel our vote.

Some of my recommendations:

KN95 Masks

Goggles

Rain Poncho to cover the rest of your body:

I dropped off my ballot on Tuesday; very low risk (outdoors, no big crowd).

Good ideas in your OP. The rain poncho is good...something cheap you can take off and throw away.

Face shields can be found on Amazon.

No such thing as going overboard...When I go for lab work, I wear TWO different type of masks, a face shield, and Cocoon wrap around sunglasses. When I get home, I strip naked in my garage and immediately take a shower.

EDIT: However, I would vote by mail and track it.
