It appears half of Americans are just fine avoiding the polls in upcoming elections. An NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist Poll shows 50-percent of voters would vote by mail if the option were available amid the coronavirus pandemic. The number of respondents who prefer to vote in person was 38-percent.
Not surprisingly, there’s a party shift – as a majority of Democrats are in favor of mailing in their ballots, while GOP voters would rather head to their local polling place. Voting by mail has been a hot topic as of late with states looking for safe ways to conduct elections.
Someone not a fan of the idea?President Trump.During a White House meeting, Trump explained how he thought the process was "very dangerous" and there's "tremendous fraud involved." Trump argues election officials have to prove who the voter is, adding there should be voter I.D.
