It's not any more problematic for the voters, yes, but what about the poll workers? They stay there all day and skew older. The big concern is that reliable poll workers are going to skip this year because of COVID (not unreasonable) and we simply won't have people to facilitate the voting we normally do. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/05/894331965/wanted-young-people...

Would it be that hard to put a sheet of clear plastic between the poll workers and the voters?

You can put all the protections in place you want but if volunteers don't feel safe, they won't show.
