@BernieSanders says his campaign won’t do any traditional GOTV tomorrow for the Wisconsin election. “Let's be clear: holding this election amid the coronavirus outbreak is dangerous, disregards the guidance of public health experts, and may very well prove deadly.”

If I were to vote in a presidential

NYT: “I know what it is to campaign hard and to work hard,” Mr. Lewis said, acknowledging that he faced some “problems now, but they will not be with me forever.” “And I will be out there working and campaigning for Joe Biden as president of the United States of America.” ...

“If we fail to vote, we don’t count,” he said. But he also expressed concern about voting against the backdrop of a pandemic, in a nation that has struggled with voter suppression, saying that he worried about whether the country would have a “free” election.

“I just hope that, in spite of whatever is going on now, that people will not be afraid to come out and vote. We have to vote.”

Yes. We do.
