Dr Fauci says voting in person won't be any more dangerous than going to the grocery store.
If you can got to the Kroger, you can vote.
- Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top US coronavirus expert, said this week he believed in-person in November would be safe so long as masks were worn and social distancing measures were followed.
- For "compromised" individuals at a higher risk for coronavirus infection, Fauci said people should vote by mail.
- While states have amped up their efforts to expand mail-in-voting, President Donald Trump has positioned himself as a staunch opponent over his unsubstantiated concerns about voter fraud.
- "So there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to vote in person or otherwise," Fauci said.
