US posted 160k+ COVID cases yesterday (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us) so, schools here (Philly suburb) closed completely, including private schools that were fully in-person. My concern here is that they'll use the lock downs to say things like "Well, we can't have a court date, we can't have a manual anything, everyone needs to be inside and separated! Nothing I can do about it, it's an order from the governor."

I'd love to see Trump get out in front of this and demand that everyone's vote be counted, that he doesn't want to see votes thrown out on technicalities and procedural grounds like "we couldn't verify these 350,000 votes from the Philly area so we're going to throw them out."

It does two things: one, it steals the lock downs as an excuse narrative. But, more importantly, it frames not-manually verifying deeply blue districts as some kind of voter suppression.
