" That lawsuit was filed Monday evening by Judy Brockman and Jill Reardon. Both are over the age of 65 and considered ‘vulnerable’ to the risks posed by COVID-19 coronavirus.

In an affidavit filed with the lawsuit, Reardon says she was recently treated for pancreatic cancer and suffers from a severe immune deficiency. She says if the primary election is held on March 17, she will have to forego her right to vote instead of potentially expose herself to COVID-19. "
