Donald Trump scores a major win on in-person voting after the NBA and NBPA agree to resume playoffs

It’s official.

The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association has voted to end its short strike in an agreement that — wait for it — uses their arenas as giant poll places for in-person voting. That’s right. They’re giving President Trump a major win to encourage safe in-person voting on election day and they’re even going to advertise for it:

But it’s a maybe on the polling places. They’ll have to work with state and local officials on the plan and in some cases, the deadline may have passed. From Politico:

As part of an agreement with National Basketball Players Association union, the NBA will convert franchise-owned-and-operated arenas into voting facilities targeted at communities particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus pandemic, the league and union said in a joint statement. If the deadline for setting up a polling place in a particular state has passed, the league will use its local arena for other civic engagement purposes.

There are still a lot of unknowns on just how the NBA plan would work, but a similar scheme was used in Kentucky where Louisville used one large polling center for the entire city and it worked out pretty well:

Of course, there were some hiccups as the polls closed as people were still making their way from their cars to the entrance:

This is definitely a risk on election day. Especially after people go to their local polling place only to find it has been closed and they’re now told to go drive to the arena:

And we’ll also point out that the Kentucky plan was widely criticized — falsely so — before primary day

Which we pointed out:

So, as for the NBA plan, it sounds good! Anything that helps get people to vote in-person will help the entire system in a county.
