And now we have some results from the Democratic Party primary where multiple 
prominent Democrats urged people to vote in Illinois in their party primary:

"Every possible precaution" except telling people that their lives are worth more 
than sating the DNC corporation's greed. Sen. Sanders' campaign manager (in front of 
Sanders in a video chat), Biden (via Twitter), and DNC Chair Tom Perez each 
encouraged voting in Illinois in the Democratic Party primary.

covers Revall Burke's death as well.

Before you conclude that the DNC's choices only hurt Burke and his loved ones, 
consider that people who participated in that primary voting (in any capacity) could 
be infected and spread COVID-19. The decision to insist on this mass gathering could 
have hurt or killed more than we know. It's not clear how many confirmed COVID-19 
cases (now up to 25,733[1]) are attributable to the Democratic Party but it seems 
right and proper to me to blame that party for helping to spread the infection during 
a time when it was clear that we were all supposed to be keeping our distance from 
one another ("social distancing") and only leave home for important necessities (such 
as groceries and medicine). We were clearly not supposed to engage in an unnecessary 
exercise where the outcome was already widely known -- Biden already had the party 
primary cinched up (going by the capricious DNC rules) by the Illinois' election date.

In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reya4KA-lP8 Kit Cabello reports that there were 
also unsanitary conditions at the polling places: "people were jam packed together, 
the lines were long, there was not that 6-foot distance that's mandatory now that 
people are doing where you hear in grocery stores. People were close.".
