The United States is to hold a presidential election in November of 2020. The coronavirus crisis, however, has caused concern among some Americans about the safety of public voting stations. As a result, the interest in voting by mail has increased around the nation. The process would permit citizens to send their ballot through the U.S. postal service to election officials in their states. President Donald Trump is opposed to the process. And Republican Party officials in some states are supporting his objection. A new survey finds that 47 percent of Democratic Party members and 27 percent of Republicans support voting by mail. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research did the survey.
