If you’re living in New York, staying inside and limiting social contact essentially to zero, congratulations – you’re doing exactly what public health experts say is necessary to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
But what if, come the April and June primary elections, maintaining your commitment to public health means failing to fulfill your civic duty?
With New Yorkers under strict orders to essentially shelter in place with a few exceptions, a question is looming about how people who usually vote in person – meaning those who aren’t registered to vote absentee – will participate in April’s quickly approaching presidential primary, and in June’s state primary.
Sure, those elections might be postponed, until after shutdown measures are eased up a bit.
