COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The coronavirus threat to senior citizens is forcing counties to remove polling places from nursing homes for their safety.

Last-minute changes left voters in Michigan and Missouri scrambling to get to new polling places Tuesday. Elections officials in states voting next week are trying to get ahead of those disruptions, announcing them now and beginning public information campaigns to tell voters where they are supposed to cast their ballots.

Secretaries of state across the country are also encouraging voting from a distance, creating dedicated websites and stocking up on plenty of supplies for disinfecting voting machines.
