Voting rights, disenfranchisement.

Masks should be offered at polls.

My friend actually lost her mask on her way to the polls.

However, many polling locations require masks, (such as the library) but actual going to vote does not require a mask. Fortunately few voters know this and wear their masks. There are signs posted that you need a mask to enter the library, but there are no signs indicating that you do not need a mask to vote
