Emanuel is now a member of Joe Biden’s COVID-19 Advisory Board. I ([link removed]) n his essay, Emanuel argues for “quality” versus “quantity” of life ([link removed]) .

* It’s critical that Americans be able to trust that, in the election process, their votes are not canceled out by fraud and illegitimate ballots.
