Hmmm I would just wear the mask ( your friend that is ) ;) Actually getting to vote is more important than the statement and who knows what would transpire in FUAC land

At our polling place they were taking temp of all the people . I assume if one had a fever one would not be allowed to enter. Some folks could make an argument that they have a medical reason for not wearing one . I assume proof from a Dr. . would be needed. Folks could say that if one did not desire to wear a mask then they had ample time to vote absentee ballot... No rights are denied . This is how it could be argued in a court setting .. Me thinks...

Good question OP.

Just like at the doctors office. When I go vote I'm going to make an rare exception and put the stupid mask on. I don't like it, I don't like it one fucking bit. But it is what it is.

This is only be the 3rd time that I put a mask on since this shit started.
Not too bad... But not a perfect score either.

I'm all ready to go vote... Been waiting a long time for this.
I took today and tomorrow of from work. My local polling station opens in 15 minutes.
So it's time for me to get going and do my thing...


:flag: . TRUMP 2020 . :flag:

Im going to vote today.
I will be voting at a church which is privately owned so if asked, I will wear the mask.
This is how ive lived the last year....if asked by a private business, I wear the mask.
Where I live there arent many shopping options....so if I get banned from a business....im screwed.
For instance.....
If I were to be banned from Wegmans, my other options are Walmart or Tops for groceries.
Im not willing to take that chance....Walmart and Tops suck for groceries.

Good question and certainly relevant in today's World!!! But you know, errr, your friend knows that these silly little things called "Rights" are mere conveniences to be bestowed upon the masses to offer the illusion of control over their destiny and life. There is none... Your friend wants to vote, then he/she must comply... Decide what fight is most important! They know a lot of Trump supporters don't agree with govt mandate, and it would serve perfectly to deny a vote or two (thousands) here and there based upon principle... Today, VOTE! Save protesting and standing ground for another day! Tell your friend ;)

people wear hats to keep their head warm.....people wear boots to keep their feet dry.....what's the big issue about wearing a mask to keep a person and others a bit more protected ? I was a supervisor with an employee who constantly had to "test" the system. He was not popular with anyone and was often mocked because of the "stand" he chose to take about things that were inconsequential. I'm not saying to be a "sheep" but why wouldn't anyone take a small precaution to protect theirselves. It's not that a person is thinking of themselves but rather the people they don't know around them. Don't care to wear a mask to vote...then carry a shotgun into a police station..see how that works out about "rights" (spare me the"there is no solid info that masks help")

I think they could turn you away from early voting but not on Election Day.

You list choices and end with a mandate, see the difference?
Mask info is showing they do not work and most likely causing more problems, when your body fights the chicomflu 99±% who are you saving?

Urges not must, if masks work then only those who would like to wear one can choose to; they work or they don't.

There is no mandate. I quit telling people what to do when I retired.

At every voting place. Specifically, I vote at a public school. And mask wearing is not a law. In essence, my right to vote is being suppressed by the states mandate.

I was talking about temp checks. Masks are a given.

I'm sure we'd be happy if all the women went topless too. Is that "one little ask" too much?

Just voted. Put on a mask, no temperature check, no police or metal detectors.

In and out in 10 minutes.

Whats your opinion on denying entry to vote without a mask? Can they suspend my constitutional right to vote because I refuse to wear a mask?

Asking for a friend.

Of course they can. The 1st amendment was already cast aside with covid, what's a little right to vote kicked in its pants as well?
