Keeping Polling Places Open

Some "Poll Workers" in Wisconsin have failed to execute their duty to staff polling places. 

I suggest that our National Guard troops be mobilized to defend our democracy by executing those duties.

After "Social Distancing" is no longer needed, I suggest that, before those failed workers are allowed to go back to poll duties, they be taken to the nearest VA cemetery and forcefully reminded that others have faced greater risks and loses than the limited risk (At polling places) from the Chinese virus.  

The governors of all states, where such cowardly misconduct is had, should consider the same solution.

To be ruthlessly honest (And most politically incorrect) I am opposed to the counting of the votes of those who: Lack the courage to go to polling places; OR, are too lazy to obtain absentee ballots in a timely manner. I am far more opposed to issuing such ballots without
proof of citizenship and residency.

The strength of the Wisconsin National Guard is ~7,000 members. Governor Ever's statement that there are not enough guardsmen to man local polling places is a lie.

If the commander(s) of Wisconsin's National Guard cannot, within 48-hours, mobilize enough Guard members to staff all vacant polling positions, they must be "fired" and replaced by those who can execute those duties in a timely manner.

Like myself (By my 1956 enlistment in the US Navy), those present-day heroes enlisted with the knowledge that they might face deadly attacks from the (External and internal) enemies of our Republic---And, that in such foreign places where there us a clear-and-present danger of deadly diseases. With "social distancing", face masks and like defenses, the danger from staffing polling places is far less than that already faced by those members of The Guard.
