I'm not, but do you have some concrete plan for when the polls should have been rescheduled to? A democratic country can't indefinitely postpone elections, no matter what the costs of holding them are.
Let's start with two months. It seems quite possible that we'll have a better idea what's going on by June. A number of important events that affect my community have been postponed until at least then. In June, we can ask the public health experts whether we can start ramping back up with big public events, including elections.
I wish all the democracy superfans would show some consistency and demand all-paper-ballot elections, like most democratic polities in history and in the present. The closed-source electronic voting box is certainly a bigger threat to democracy than several months of primary delay. When other nations have exit poll discrepancies of over 4%, the UN calls it an indicator of probable vote fraud. Our primaries regularly feature such discrepancies. [0]
I'm in favor of paper ballots too! But surely you see why it's more concerning to say "alright, elections are cancelled, and we won't hold an election again until unaccountable public health experts make a subjective judgment that it's safe". What would happen if they don't?
1. If you're saying "everybody stay home, the NBA is cancelled, the NCAA tournament is cancelled because of the threat of transmission, but we're going to have the entire state parade in front of a bunch of old people who run our polls"... yeah, that might not be a great idea right now. Deciding to either postpone it or do it mail-only seems rather responsible.
2. Postponing it indefinitely is a whole nother can of worms. You can't just postpone the general election for two years until we have a working vaccine.
So, worst case, we're going to have to conduct the general election by mail only. I think it has to be conducted on time in November, though, to avoid giving rise to conspiracy theories (or to tempt people from taking advantage of the situation...)
Democracy and Democratic governments are two different things. The USA is a democracy. China, North Korea, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are Democratic governments.
