DEMOCRACY’S

SAFE

FOR

NOW

Despite

public

concern

and

experts’

warnings,

the

“pandemic

election”

goes

OK.

We

learn

who

won

before

too

long,

and

the

vast

majority

of

Americans

accept

the

result.

Most

mail-in

ballots

are

counted,

if

slowly.

There

is

no

mayhem

at

the

polls,

and

few

cases

of

Covid-19

are

attributed

to

polling

places.

State

and

federal

lawmakers

face

pressure

to

reform

voting

processes

before

the

next

election.
