David Bigio, a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland, floated COVID-19 temperature tests as a potential tool to keep Trump voters out of polling stations.

He inquired on October 27th “if the voting sites took temperatures before letting people in” would “be a way to keep Trump voters out.”

The tweet comes as no surprise: Bigio’s account contains a host of anti-Trump and pro-Biden content.

For example, during Amy Coney-Barrett’s confirmation hearings, the professor tweeted “it would be very, very convenient if judge Barrett was infected with covid.”
