America Has an Election Crisis On Its Hands

There is a mere 57 days until Nov. 3, the day of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. With a pandemic in full swing, tensions with China on the rise and the economy struggling to recover from a deep recession, the ride will likely be bumpy. There’s already a shortage of workers to man the polling stations, and even if we make it through election day just fine, what comes afterwards is sure to be … unusual.
