What the ballot — and the polling place — will look like on Tuesday

If you never sent in your absentee ballot (which may have been for the best) and you missed early voting, you can still vote the old fashioned way on Tuesday at your regular polling site (search it here if you don’t already know). The scene will look much like shopping at Whole Foods — socially distanced lines outside, bigger aisles inside and plexiglass at checkout. They have promised to provide wipes and masks, and voting machines will be cleaned regularly.

Bonus: you get to keep the pen.

On the ballot, there’s the one-man primary for president. Plus:
