NEW YORK - Most Americans, including a majority of Republicans, want the government to require mail-in ballots for the Nov 3 presidential election if the coronavirus outbreak still threatens the public this autumn, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
But the poll conducted on Monday and Tuesday found that 72 per cent of all US adults, including 79 per cent of Democrats and 65 per cent of Republicans, supported a requirement for mail-in ballots as a way to protect voters in case of a continued spread of the respiratory disease later this year. While the rate of hospitalisations appears to be slowing in some states, there is no proven treatment for the virus and health experts have warned it will keep spreading without strict controls on where people go.
Joe Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination to face Trump in the election, has said election officials should consider allowing mail-in ballots"across the board" in November.
