As the US confronts the dual challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and resultant economic crisis, counties will be called upon to manage a unique and complex range of services. Counties are responsible for providing safe voting options, and their role as health care providers may eventually include vaccine distribution. But their budgets are even more constrained than usual. How are counties across the country planning for and coping with one of the most challenging end-of-year seasons many have ever faced?
