A month ago, I still thought: "If I get sick, it will suck, but I'll be okay."

Now I know that I'm wrong. The #Coronavirus could kill me. I could get sick after the hospitals are overwhelmed and there aren't the resources to save my life. I'm 29. People my age/younger have died.
@GovEvers tried to postpone the WI election. The GOP blocked it. I requested an absentee ballot that never came; maybe a clerical error due to lack of resources. But the #SupremeCourt has now overruled the WI absentee deadline extension, so even if it comes, it will be too late.
#Milwaukee, a city of more than 600k people, will have 5 polling locations open tomorrow. That's less than 3% of the normal number. This is because poll workers--many of whom are elderly--are afraid, too. They're obeying the #SaferAtHome order.
@WIGOPSenate How does this maintain the integrity of an election? How does making people choose between life or casting a ballot preserve democracy? We are entering the week where rates of #coronavirus infection are at a peak. This election will be nothing short of illegitimate.
I've chosen not to go to the polls tomorrow because I'm afraid for my life. So now, after everything, I can't even vote against the people who have put us in this position. People will die, and I can't do anything but stay home and try to #FlattenTheCurve.

@BernieSanders, I'm sorry I can't cast my vote for you tomorrow. In an alternate reality, you are the one leading us through this dark time, and leading us well. Thank you for your service and your dedication to the health of the American people.

@SenTaylor I'm sorry that I can't cast my vote for you tomorrow. You've served well as a WI Senator and I wanted to help you become Milwaukee mayor.

@judgekarofsky I'm sorry that I can't cast my vote for you tomorrow. I tried. It's more evident now than ever that the WI Supreme Court needs you.

@MilwaukeeMPS @MTEAunion I'm sorry that I can't cast my "Yes" vote on the MPS referendum, tomorrow. The schools deserve to have the Arts and PhyEd for all students. Thank you for your dedication to this city's children.
