    Here's how to do it right, which, of course, is the last thing Republicans want.

    "But the country enacted several precautionary measures to minimize the risk of community spread at the polls. As a result of these pandemic-inspired rule changes, over 40 percent of voters cast their ballot early—the highest early voting rate ever—and the country saw an overall turnout of 66.2 percent (over 29 million voters in total), the highest turnout of a parliamentary election since 1992. Well past the election, there have been no confirmed COVID-19 cases related to exposure at the polls during the April election.

    Early voting, which was first introduced as an in-person option for voters in 2013, took place nationally on April 10-11, 2020 at 3,500 polling places (approximately one-quarter of polling places open on election day). The NEC encouraged voters to vote early in order to “reduc[e] the number of voters expected to gather at the polling stations on election day.” In addition, the usually limited vote-by-mail option was expanded to include COVID-19 patients and other self-isolating individuals who were allowed to file a “home voting application.” As a result, over 12 million voters (26.7 percent of eligible voters and around 40 percent of overall turnout) cast their votes early."

    Not what the Saboteur Party wants, is it?
