Benefit of the doubt about what? If they are going to cancel the election it doesn't matter what you or I think. It is already decided according to you so mail-in balloting is irrelevant.
Yeah, exactly. It's not hard to see where this is going:
Step 1: Postpone or cancel elections
Step 2: Prevent mail in voting during a pandemic of a disease that can be spread by asymptomatic people touching voting machines, pens, and being in close proximity to one another
Step 3: Cancel the election on the grounds of #2; that it is merely too dangerous for Public Health for voters to convene at polls nationwide
