“I think if carefully done, according to the guidelines, there’s no reason that I can see why that not be the case,” Fauci told ABC News. “If you go and wear a mask, if you observe the physical distancing, and don’t have a crowded situation, there’s no reason why shouldn’t be able to do that.”

Though Fauci advised at-risk people and the physically weak to stay home and use mail-in voting, he nonetheless emphasized that “there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be able to vote in person or otherwise.”

As noted by Fox News, Fauci’s endorsement of in-person voting is markedly different from what you said back in April. “I can’t guarantee it,” he told CNN at the time.

President Trump and his campaign have adamantly opposed mail-in voting, alleging that it offers too many opportunities for fraud. The Biden campaign, on the other hand, has endorsed the practice as contributing to public health safety.
