Holding a Presidential election in the midst of a pandemic will pose immense challenges, from keeping voters at least 6 feet apart, to sanitizing voting equipment, to navigating the logistics of mail-in ballots and drop-off points.
All of these complications will make the election process longer and more complex than it has ever been. Meaning, even if America had a voting holiday, holding an election in 24 hours simply wouldn’t be possible. Taken together with the US’s internationally low rates of voter turnout, COVID-19 will pose historic challenges to what’s acknowledged as a historic election.
At Goods Unite Us, our mission is to provide transparency between the worlds of politics and commerce. In keeping with that, we’ve compiled the names of all the companies stepping up to the plate to make sure all of us can participate in this election.
