(116,121 posts)The situation was completely different then. I voted at a polling place, and people were already taking precautions, but as of that date there were only a handful of cases in the state.

(1,096 posts)standing in that obscenely long line, how likely would you be to vote for a republican candidate - representing the party who orchestrated this voting debacle? I would think this alone would make people turn Democratic in a heartbeat.

(87,108 posts)by the time they get into the booth. This could facilitate a landslide for Dems. Back when I lived in Madison, protests around the capitol and up and down West Washington were common. And the boombox parade wasn't all that old.
If anything, there will be so many pissed off Dems that they will show up for change. And the weather doesn't look all taht bad, thankfully.

(28,909 posts)They reduced certain areas from 150 voting stations to 15.
In areas where Repukes vote, not so much.
No lines. No barriers.
