Joe Doakes from Como Park emailed…er, mid-last week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Governor Walz is set to announce a state-wide mask order.\u00a0 It’s
necessary, to prevent the spread of Covid-19 virus.\u00a0 He hasn’t said so
yet, but he’ll be cancelling the elections soon.<\/p>Why?\u00a0 Isn’t it obvious?\u00a0 If the Covid-19 virus is so deadly that we must
wear masks at all times, even standing in line outside a store with the
breeze blowing, then surely it’s so deadly that we cannot stand in line
outside a polling place with the breeze blowing.<\/p>Unless . . . maybe voting is like rioting?\u00a0 Maybe the virus doesn’t
spread during voting the way it spreads during singing, for example in
church, and more like the way it doesn’t spread during shouting, for
example at protests.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nAnyway, it’s too late now to switch to on-line voting or mail-in
ballots.\u00a0 And despite the endless tinkering with the dials to perpetuate
the terror, the DNC’s internal polling numbers show Trump doing
surprisingly well in Minnesota.\u00a0 Voters simply aren’t blaming Trump for
Walz’ actions.<\/p>No, there’s just too much risk.\u00a0 We can’t take the chance of something
going disastrously wrong.<\/p>The elections are canceled.<\/p>

Who needs elections when we have hundreds of thousands of fraudulent registrations to do our voting for us?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
