Astronauts are voting from space, millions are mailing ballots and patients battling COVID-19 are voting from their hospital beds … welcome to the 2020 election.
Voter turnout is expected to be on the rise for what you’ve, no doubt, heard is the election of our lifetime … and a non-partisan group called Patient Voting is making sure hospital patients don’t get left out.
