By most accounts, Maryland’s primary election did not go smoothly.

Mail-in ballots were mailed late or not at all and on election days there were long lines at some of the few polling places that opened.

In response, Governor Larry Hogan directed that for the November general election every precinct in the state open on election day and that every voter be mailed an application for a mail-in ballot.

Among the problems Alsobrooks cites: The fact that many of the typically older people who man polling places won't risk it this year.

“Only 34% of our trained poll workers indicated a willingness to work,” she says.

Both Maryland and Virginia depend heavily on older people for their pool of election judges. I suspect it's the same for other states. Like it or not, democrats are accomplishing their fear-mongering and interfering with elections. If people have to stand in very long lines to vote in person, who is most likely to walk away, Rs or Ds?

In my county, I estimate that at least 75% of poll workers are retirees.

This is potentially a VERY significant problem.

I can only imagine what it's like in FL.
