Of course, Republican politicians are planning to appeal the decision. I really hope the appeal fails and/or new federal legislation will make it possible for all voters in all states to vote by mail without having to provide an excuse/justification that could be denied by election officials.
And, still, the U.S. Postal Service needs to be funded to make it possible, and to keep package deliveries flowing in this critical time.
