on the one hand, delaying elections sets a horrible precedent
on the other hand, holding elections mid-pandemic—when many people are unable to go do things because they are at least one of ill and vulnerable and many more people are, out of compassion, unwilling to go do things that might facilitate conveying disease from ill to vulnerable—treats the votes of healthy abled assholes as more important than anyone else's votes, health, and lives…which sets a horrible precedent
