Question

How effective do you think the current methods of voting are during the coronavirus pandemic? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Coronavirus pandemic also has had specific impacts on elections, increasing voters’ fear of voting in person, which is especially wrenching for populations that normally prefer going to the polls. The pandemic also has required election officials to accommodate new requirements for social distancing and personal protective equipment; and to pivot when poll workers, many of whom are older adults, did not feel safe working the polls. Jurisdictions that were inexperienced with large numbers of absentee or vote-by-mail ballots have had to adjust to an unexpected spike in these forms of “special voting.”

Some states and municipalities we examined took steps to protect voting rights by creating new voting centers, recruiting new and more poll workers, increasing awareness and ease of early in-person absentee and mail-in voting, and adopting various protective measures to prevent the spread of Cornavirus during in-person voting.

However, Human Rights Watch’s interviews with experts and voters and analysis of voting data show that some aspects of elections procedures during the 2020 primary season negatively affected the right to vote.

Answer 2

Answer:

The current methods of voting are difficult and cause problems for both party's. Sending in voting slips through mail can cause infrastructure risks along with other complications. Voting in person can endanger other's by possibly infecting others or other's infecting you with the virus. Both voting methods can spread the virus in their own way. The pandemic has made it very difficult and complicated for every party. The method is not effective and makes it more complicated by giving the possibility of invalid votes.
