There's nothing wrong with vote-by-mail. I lived in Oregon for a while where everyone can vote by mail (with some in-person for those who prefer it) and it works just fine. Also - some people chose to line up to pay respects to John Lewis, but I'm not planning to go anywhere crowded and inhale other people's germs. It's quite another thing to force people many of whom are medically vulnerable to go out and risk their health or lose their voice in a democracy. BTW - the exact same people are going to tabulate your votes whether they're done in person or by mail. The exact same hand-counters and/or machines. I've been a volunteer poll worker so I've seen the votes get counted firsthand.

Mysophobia - (aka verminophobia, germophobia, germaphobia, bacillophobia, bacteriophobia; from Greek: musos/uncleanness + phobos/fear) a pathological fear of contamination and germs; coined in 1879 describing an obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) repeatedly washing one's hands.

Objection. Relevance.

It's not a phobia when there's a respiratory virus killing people and causing permanent organ damage, my dude. It's called being a rational fucking human being with a sense of self-preservation.

Allegedly.
