CORONA Biden: States Should Prepare for Remote Voting in 2020 Elections

If it really does come to this (and it could) how about instead of "remote" we go to mail-in PAPER ballots all counted by hand? Fraud is still possible but harder to do, I'd much rather do something like that than rely on "computer" voting (except for special situations like folks on the Space Station, some troops overseas etc).

During an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” 2020 Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden called on secretaries of state to plan for having remote voting in the 2020 elections.
Biden said, “[T]here would be no rationale for eliminating or delaying the election. It may be virtual.”


Host Brian Williams then asked, “God forbid we’re still dealing with this in November. God forbid we’re dealing with some kind of a regional or climate rebound of this in November. Do you think it’s incumbent upon the secretaries of state in all 5o states to ensure this is the one election with secure, remote voting possibility?”
Biden responded, “Yes. I think they should be doing that now. I think they should be doing that now, planning on it.”
Biden also suggested drive-in voting as another possibility and predicted that there will be more absentee voting.

Let's Go Brandon!
We already have an absentee ballot system. Why not use that?

Not that it should come to that; we need to get back to normal WELL before then or the economic consequences will be catastrophic.

One imagines Biden's hands wringing together, a smile on his face as he says this.
