Voting by Mail

From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:

The Texas State Democratic Convention is scheduled to be held in San Antonio from June 4th thru June 6th. But the Coronavirus may well throw a kink in that plan. Many experts predict the Coronavirus crisis may not be over by then. If it’s not, and San Antonio officials prohibit a gathering of several thousand people, the convention will not be able to be held. What is to be done?

State Democratic Party officials have been wrestling with that very possible scenario. And they have plans to conduct an online convention. Executive Director Manny Garcia said delegates to the state convention will be registered online — after being chosen in their county or senatorial district conventions. Garcia said, “If the city of San Antonio shuts us down, we’ll have an online convention with online voting and an online show”.

Delaying the convention is not really an option, since the national convention is slated for early July.

And that’s not the only thing that may require some changes.
