IMO, we should do a new bill specifically for voting once this is done. Given the risk of having people overload poll locations (even in the fall), we should setup a plan where all states should allow mail-in and early voting for everyone. I would be glad to have that conversation and have people put some thought into it after a bunch of my friends who are unemployed and worried about their mortgage in April get some relief.

I'll have that conversation for you: the GOP is against expansion of any voting rights at all, period. In fact, they've been pretty aggressively contracting them for years in states where they have control of the state apparatus.
