Covid-19 means more voters than ever will attempt to cast their ballots by post, which could lessen waiting times at poll stations—but it could also mean a longer wait for results
than three months to go until polling day, a president talking up the threat of fraud and a virus keeping people at home, Americans are understandably worried about this year’s presidential election. Even in more normal times, America’s system of casting and counting ballots is more complicated and inconvenient than it should be. In Georgia’s primary elections in mid-July some voters queued for five hours to make their voices heard.
The second group is fraudulent voters. These have long preoccupied Republican politicians. Donald Trump’s insistence that “2020 will be the mostElection in history” is different in style and motivation, but not in substance, from past claims. There is almost no evidence for this either.
After the 2016 election, activists aligned with the Democrats claimed that laws requiring voters to present photobefore they could vote cost Hillary Clinton the state of Wisconsin and maybe the entire election. But academics have poured a lot of cold water on these theories; there is no compelling evidence that voter-laws changed the result of the 2016 election.
