Adhere to the rule of law established by the General Assemby.
 

The pandemic should not become the rationale to circumvent established voting and election standards.  There is plenty of time to apply for absentee ballots and submit them prior to election day.  I also question why citizens feel "comfortable" going to grocery stores, but will not be going to their local voting precincts.  Surely social distance protocols can be established to protect voters and election officials.
