    "A deadlocked Supreme Court on Monday let stand a lower-court ruling that requires Pennsylvania election officials to count absentee ballots received within three days after Election Day, Nov. 3, even if they are not postmarked."

    I think in some ways this is okay because of how this year is going. Now more than ever, people are staying inside because of covid. It's difficult to go and do certain things when you are in the high range risk group who can get covid. Since this year has changed our definition of normal this seems pretty reasonable to me.

    That is so wrong. I know that when you test positive for corona most doctors say to isolate yourself for a total of two weeks at the most. This is along with antibiotics and more. So them to say he is not contagious after a week when he could have spread it to many throughout the white house is wrong. There should be more caution and such to this situation.
  • shanarief on 12 Oct 20
     
    There are so many things that are wrong with Trump going back to work so early. Trump should be quarantined longer including due to how bad the covid affected him. Not only that but being around people isn't safe either, as our president his main goal should be to keep people safe. He's down sizing Covid 19 again.

    I think the election should still go on as planned maybe some more safety precautions. I think Trump will be fine.

    Donald Trump didn't take the virus seriously, got sick, and is now back to healthy. This isn't a wakeup call because he recovered fast and never appeared to be in bad shape.
  • hharker376 on 12 Oct 20
     
    He never appeared to be in bad shape which led many to believe it was a hoax or that hospitals are hiding something. He did not take it seriously and Americans will not take it seriously either if he doesn't step up first.
  • mmailey052 on 12 Oct 20
     
    Trump never seemed to be in any bad shape and because of this, it is not really a wake-up call. He was not strict on safety precautions and did not wear a mask all the time.
  • laurenhansen168 on 12 Oct 20
     
    Trump should have been more serious about the virus and should have taken some more precaution. he could have been better about wearing a mask and his safety more too.

    I think that the people who were doing this deserve to go to jail. The United States is a mess right now and things need to calm down. People thinking that they are going to overthrow the state government need to be put in jail. This type of stuff is just going to make the situations in America even worse.

    I agree that people who plan to kidnap someone, especially a government official should be thrown in jail. It's common sense.
  • emilysmith200 on 12 Oct 20
     
    I don't think anyone should threaten or joke about kidnapping or harming anyone in general. It's just not right, and they should be in jail because of it.
  • ethompson038 on 12 Oct 20
     
    I think this is extremely dangerous and that the people who were plotting this deserve jail time. Just because you may disagree with someone's political views doesn't mean that you should wish harm upon them. People need to learn when too far is too far and learn how to respectfully disagree.
  • livmorrow on 12 Oct 20
     
    I think that if you try to kidnap anyone especially someone who is a government official they should face repercussions and go to jail.

    This protest is so dangerous for so many reasons, protesting should be peaceful and there shouldn't need to be guns there especially when people feel threatened. Everybody has a right to their opinion, but they should voice it in a respectful and peaceful manner otherwise it makes them look uneducated and violent.

    you would think after actually having corona he would open his eyes a little more but, he needs to understand why these virtual debates are happening and as our current president he would do that for his people and put a good example.
  • jessicasolorio on 12 Oct 20
     
    I agree with the comment above mine, you definitely would think that after having the virus he would take a step towards more virtual meetings instead of being everywhere all the time without a mask.

    Many could be questioning if they should vote or not because they're not sure if they'll receive justice if they vote or not. Plus, they don't want these issues to keep happening.
  • lennxbrown on 12 Oct 20
     
    I listened to a podcast that also mentioned many "black" voters will not be voting until they can receive something tangible like they were promised in the past. If this is true the Democrats or Joe Biden will not win the election.

    I think it should be up to yourself to decide whether or not you want to wear a mask.
  • gozzello162 on 14 Sep 20
     
    Though I respect the foundation and practice of religion I don't think that it should be used to put lives as risk by not wearing your mask in public and potentially exposing tons of people to the virus.
  • hharker376 on 14 Sep 20
     
    I think religion could be a factor, but they shouldn't use it when it comes to risking other people's health in public and exposing others and yourself; If they are going off of religion itself and not having anything to prove that masks are against their religion. It is important to be respectful and polite to others in public by wearing a mask.
  • makosa23 on 14 Sep 20
     
    i think everybody should wear mask.
  • mmailey052 on 14 Sep 20
     
    I think that everyone should have to wear a mask not just to protect yourself but other people as well. Religion should not be a factor in wearing a mask and keeping people safe in the long run. Not wearing a mask is selfish and could harm other people when around other people it should be a polite common courtesy.
  • laurenhansen168 on 14 Sep 20
     
    I think everyone should wear a mask. You could spread covid and harm others because of your decision not to wear one.

    Wearing a mask should be an option, no one is forced, but people should consider other's health.
  • jessicasolorio on 28 Sep 20
     
    I agree with oli; people should not be using religion as an excuse to not wear a mask unless they can prove their religion does not allow masks. That is disrespectful and selfish to use religion as an excuse if you cannot prove your religion does not allow it. Honestly, everybody should wear a mask it's not that hard, we're all going through the pandemic together just because you think it's too uncomfortable shows your unwillingness to consider others well beings.
  • josephinelamb on 28 Sep 20
     
    Everyone should wear a mask, not only to protect themselves but others too. Not wearing a mask is incredibly selfish. Unless they can actually prove it is against their Religion to wear a mask, then they should be wearing one.
  • makosa23 on 28 Sep 20
     
    everybody should wear a mask. if you wear mask, it's law risk to get corona.
  • emilysmith200 on 28 Sep 20
     
    I think people shouldn't use religion to get out of wearing a mask. The mask itself is not to protect yourself, it's to protect the ones nearby. It's just common courtesy.
  • jcollins438 on 28 Sep 20
     
    Protecting your religious rights is important but you have to be considerate of everyone else as well especially in a time of panic global issue.
  • coliver487 on 28 Sep 20
     
    I believe wearing masks should be one's choice if they want to or not because at the end of the day it's their body their choice and if you say people should have to wear one in the safety of others than many other laws should be revoked like the Rowe vs wade because abortion is killing another human being bc its an inconvenience to the mother so someone should not have to wear a mask because its an inconvenience to them
  • jsachs097 on 28 Sep 20
     
    I think that If we all are required to wear masks, then even if you are religious, you should too. You shouldn't use your religious views as an excuse to not wear it. We are all required, so we all are going to. I understand where you should be able to choose on if you want to wear one or not, and I'm all for that, but until they say it's your choice, then you should be following the rules and wearing a mask, for the safety of the people that could get really sick from catching the virus.
  • meganolson04 on 30 Sep 20
     
    I think religion should not be a reason to not wear a mask. How do religion and a mask relate?
  • bguevara787 on 05 Oct 20
     
    I think the fact that masks are required for our health shouldn't be an issue with a religion they are both used for a different reasons which both are important.

    Wearing masks not only helps you but others around you. It shouldn't be up to your religion to keep others safe. This is a world wide pandemic, why is wearing a mask that big of a deal. Including when it comes to the conversation of religion.
  • cmacias539 on 06 Oct 20
     
    I think people should just wear masks for the safety of them and others, I get it sucks, but it would suck more if someone was dying because you didn't wear your mask, or even worse if you were dying because you didn't wear it.
