Primaries and other elections have been postponed in more than a dozen states so far due to concerns about the coronavirus. Several states – including Ohio, Georgia and West Virginia – have announced that they will send absentee ballot applications to all registered voters so they do not have to vote in person.
"There is no one size fits all approach, but instead a 50-state solution," Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate and New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver wrote today."We ask Congress to recognize the necessity for flexible funding to meet each of our specific needs."
