2020 Louisiana Democratic presidential primary
The primary was initially scheduled for April 4. However, on March 13, 2020, the Secretary of State of Louisiana chose to postpone the state's primaries until June 20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 14, the primary was further delayed another three weeks to July 11. These delays would have resulted in Louisiana losing half of its delegates, as the primary date is "past a June 9 deadline set by the Democratic National Committee", but there will be no penalty as the 2020 Democratic National Convention was rescheduled to August.


2020 Louisiana Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Louisiana was initially planned to be one of three states holding primaries on April 4, 2020, the other two being Alaska and Hawaii. On June 20, 2019, governor John Bel Edwards signed a bill consolidating the presidential primary with municipal and ward elections on the same date, shifting the primary date from the first Saturday in March to the first Saturday in April.


2020 Louisiana Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Voting is expected to take place throughout the state from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. In the closed primary, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 54 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary.


2020 Louisiana Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Of the 54 pledged delegates, between 3 and 8 are allocated to both of the state's 6 congressional districts and another 7 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 12 at-large pledged delegates. These delegate totals do not account for pledged delegate bonuses or penalties from timing or clustering.


2020 Louisiana Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Following the primary, district-level delegates will be elected at post-primary congressional district caucuses featuring mail-in balloting. The Democratic state central committee will then meet to vote on the 12 pledged at-large and 7 PLEO delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention. The 54 pledged delegates Louisiana sends to the national convention will be joined by 7 unpledged PLEO delegates (5 members of the Democratic National Committee; a sole U.S. Representative in Cedric Richmond; and the governor).

2020 MK4, Size
A lower limit for the absolute magnitude of the nucleus is Hg=11.30±0.03 mag that, for an albedo in the range 0.1—0.04, gives an upper limit for its size in the interval (23, 37) km.


2020 MK4, Colors
The values of its color indexes, (g′-r′)=0.42±0.04 and (r′-i′)=0.17±0.04, are similar to the solar ones. Its surface colors place this centaur among the most extreme members of the gray group.

Centaurs have short dynamical lives due to strong interactions with the giant planets. 2020 MK4 follows a very chaotic orbital evolution that may lead it to be ejected from the Solar System during the next 200,000 yr. Extensive numerical simulations indicate that 2020 MK4 may have experienced relatively close flybys with comet 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann, in some cases with one of both objects were transient Jovian satellites; during these events, 2020 MK4 may have crossed the coma of comet 29P when in outburst.

2020 MTV Video Music Awards, Ceremony information
The awards were originally scheduled to be held at Barclays Center for the first time since 2013. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was expected to be held with "limited or no audience", as one of the first major indoor events to be held in the city since the onset of the pandemic in the state, with MTV also announcing plans for the show to "[span] all five boroughs" to "pay homage to the strength, spirit and incredible resilience of NYC and its beloved residents".


2020 MTV Video Music Awards, Ceremony information
MTV eventually scrapped the indoor component of the ceremony at Barclays after "close consultation with state and local health officials" and announced that it would be conducted in an outdoor format across the city; the Center would subsequently host the 2021 event instead. The majority of performances were pre-recorded either in New York City (with locations such as Hudson Yards and a drive-in theatre in Brooklyn), or on a chroma key set with New York scenery for acts unable to travel to New York City (primarily in Los Angeles, and South Korea in the case of BTS). All personnel entering New York City were required to quarantine for three to four days on arrival, and be tested before and after filming. Red carpet appearances and acceptance speeches were also recorded during the same sessions.

2020 Macau Grand Prix
The 2020 Macau Grand Prix was a motor race for Formula 4 (F4) cars which was held on the streets of Macau on 22 November 2020. For the first time in 37 years the race was an F4 event (rather than Formula Three), and was part of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)-administered China Formula 4 Championship because of strict Chinese quarantine regulations arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The event consisted of two races; an eight-lap qualifying race decided the starting grid for the twelve-lap main event. The 2020 race was the 67th running of the Macau Grand Prix, the first for F4 cars and the final meeting of the three-round 2020 China Formula 4 Championship.


2020 Macau Grand Prix
The Grand Prix was won by Smart Life Racing Team driver Hon Chio Leong from pole position, after winning the qualification race the previous afternoon. Leong was the first Macau driver since André Couto in the 2000 race and third overall to win the Macau Grand Prix. Second place went to fellow Macau driver Wing Chung Chang of the Chengdu Tianfu International Circuit Team; the podium was completed by the highest-placed Chinese driver, Sicheng Li of the LEO Geeke Team, in third position. As a consequence of the results, He Zijian won the Drivers' Championship and LEO Geeke Team took the Teams' Cup.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Background
The Macau Grand Prix, Macau's most prestigious international sporting event, is an annual auto race which is considered a stepping stone to higher motor-racing categories such as Formula One. The 2020 Macau Grand Prix was the 67th edition of the event, and its first running under Formula 4 regulations. It was held on the temporary 6.2-kilometre (3.9 mi) Guia Circuit in the streets of Macau on 22 November 2020 with two preceding days of practice and qualifying.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Background
After the event was held as a non-championship round of the FIA Formula 3 Championship for the first time in 2019, the series was due to return for a second year. With quarantine restrictions introduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the plan was abandoned by the Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee in early September; Euroformula Open and Super Formula Lights cars complying with Formula 3 regulations could not compete in Macau. Since Macau had imposed a 14-day quarantine for overseas visitors, most drivers came from Hong Kong, Macau and China. The 2020 race was part of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)-administered China Formula 4 Championship, featuring Mygale cars powered by a 2.0 l (2,000 cc) Geely G-Power JLD-4G20 engine, and was the last of three meetings of the 2020 season.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Background
After the second Zhuhai International Circuit meeting a month earlier, Smart Life Racing Team driver He Zijian led the Drivers' Championship with 169 points (ahead of Stephen Hong of FFA Racing and Leo Geeke Team's Li Sicheng in second and third places with 78 points each). Pointer Racing driver James Wong was fourth with 75 points, and BlackArts Racing Team competitor Zhu Yuanjie was fifth with 64 points. In the Teams' Cup, Smart Life Racing Team led with 175 points; Leo Geeke Team was second with 119 points, and Black Arts Racing Team was third with 115. FFA Racing and Pointer Racing were in fourth and fifth place with 109 and 75 points, respectively.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Background
Drivers 15 years of age or older were invited to compete by Macau's governing body, the Associação Geral Automóvel de Macau-China, and entries had to be filed between 17 August and 11 September 2020. The entry list of 17 drivers was released on 4 November; it featured local drivers Hon Chio Leong, Wing Chung Chang and Drivers' Championship leader He. Wong moved from Henmax Motorsport to replace Cheng Tao at Leo Geeke Team, and Hong joined Asia Racing Team from FFA Racing. The Grand Prix was originally scheduled to use a rolling start (a change to the series' regulations), but the plan was abandoned on 19 November in favour of a standing start in line with China Formula 4 Championship meetings. Double championship points were awarded for the qualifying and main races.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Practice
Two 35-minute practice sessions were held before the race on 20 November: one in mid-morning, and the second later that afternoon. The first practice session took place in clear weather. Sicheng Li lapped fastest (with three minutes remaining), with a time of 2 minutes, 34.106 seconds before improving to two minutes, 33.209 seconds on his final lap; he was 1.281 seconds ahead of Chang in second position. Positions three through five were held by He, Chao Yin Wei and Ling Kang. No major incidents occurred during the session. Conditions continued to be clear for the second practice session.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Practice
Leong set the fastest lap time early in the session at 2 minutes, 33.466 seconds before improving to two minutes, 30.893 seconds midway through. He later improved to two minutes, 30.168 seconds, with ten minutes remaining, to conclude the session fastest. Chang was second-fastest, ahead of Li, Ling and He. Soon after Leong lapped fastest, Zhu collided with the barrier at the right-hand Faraway Hill corner in the track's mountain section, prompting officials to end the session with eight minutes to go.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Qualifying
The 20-minute qualifying session on the morning on 21 November determined the qualification race's starting order with each driver's fastest lap times. Drivers who were outside 110 percent of the fastest lap time in their category would not qualify for the event. Conditions were dry for the session. Cheng was the early pacesetter before He led with a 2-minute, 31.970-second time which Leong would improve to 2 minutes, 29.794 seconds. Yellow flags waved during the final minutes of the session, which prevented any improvement from Leong; however, his time was fast enough for pole position.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Qualifying
Leong was joined on the grid's front row by Li: the highest-ranked driver eligible to score championship points, since Leong was a previous China Formula 4 Championship winner. Li's time demoted Chang to third place, with Ling moving to fourth in the qualifier's final six minutes; the drivers were separated by less than a second. He qualified fifth, with Kit, Junjie Lu, Yang Liu, Wei and Zong Yi Shang placing seventh through tenth. Yucheng Zeng, Zhu, Jing Zefeng, Weifu Huang, Hui Zheng, Ying Fu Hon and Song Tao Yu, in 11th through 17th place, were the final qualifying drivers. The session was disrupted when Hui lost control of his car on the main straight before Hong ran deep onto the run-off area at the Lisboa turn during his final lap.

Leong maintained his pole position advantage heading into Lisboa corner. Li and Chang were alongside each other on the straight, with Chang overtaking Li at the Mandarin Oriental Bend turn. Liu moved from eighth to fourth during the first lap; Kwan fell from sixth to ninth, and Chao improved from ninth to eighth. Leong held a 1.654-second gap over Chang to start the second lap, as Ling began duelling He for fourth place.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Qualifying race
Zeng crashed during the second lap in the mountainous area of the circuit and created a brief blockage which necessitated the safety car, since Huang could not restart his vehicle and required assistance from the marshal to push start his car. Jing retired during the safety-car period when he stopped at the Melco hairpin, creating a brief 13-car blockage until his vehicle was removed from the road. The safety car was withdrawn at the end of the fourth lap as Zhu and Hong made contact when racing was about to resume. Hong resumed, as the top section of Zhu's front wing was removed.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Qualifying race
Li attempted to overtake Chang towards the Lisboa corner but decided to bow out of the manoevure. The safety car was dispatched for the second time on the fifth lap. Hui crashed at high speed into the guardrail on the Solitude Esses, and the resulting cleanup lasted until the seventh lap. The race was restarted on the final lap, with Leong leading Chang. Through the Mandarin Bend Oriental corner, Chang was close behind Leong and attempted to pass him on the outside when Leong turned inside. Chang drew alongside Leong (braking at the Lisboa corner), but Leong kept the lead.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Qualifying race
On the final lap, Wei, He and Ling were involved in separate crashes into the left-hand barrier. Leong maintained the lead for the remainder of the event to claim victory and pole position for the main race. He was the first Macau driver to win a single-seater motor race in Macau since Cheong Lou Meng finished first in the 2004 Formula Renault undercard round. Chang was 0.867 seconds later in second place, with Li another 1.4 seconds behind in third. Liu was in fourth place, Zong fifth, Hong sixth, Zhu seventh, Lu eighth, Wong ninth and Yingfu tenth; He, Ling and Wei were the final classified finishers. Despite his accident, He took the Drivers' Championship with one race to go.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Main race
The twelve-lap main race began in sunny weather at 15:30 local time on 22 November. Leong took the lead at the start of the race, weaving on the main straight to keep Chang in second position going into the Mandarin Oriental Bend turn. Chang slipstreamed, drawing closer to Leong into the Lisboa corner as Liu overtook Li on the inside for third place on the turn. The safety car was deployed on the first lap when Liu crashed into the right-side barrier on the track's mountain section (cresting the Faraway Hill corner), since his car needed to be removed.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Main race
Yu went into a run-off area, and retired from the race as well. The safety car was withdrawn at the end of the third lap, and racing resumed with Leong in the lead. On the fifth lap, Lu tried to pass Hong on the Mandarin Oriental Bend but Hong held onto fourth place on the inside; Shang was passed for seventh place by Ling on that lap. Yuan dropped from sixth to tenth place on the sixth lap as Shang overtook him on the main straight and He passed Yuan at the Lisboa corner. Hong blocked a passing attempt by Lo for fourth place going into the Lisboa corner on lap seven. Hong and Lu were alongside each other later in the lap, but Hong held onto fourth place.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Main race
Hong and Lo's battle for fourth place enabled Ling to gain on both drivers and join the duel on the eighth lap. On lap ten, Lo passed Hong on the inside for fourth place at the Mandarin Oriental Bend. Ling tried to pass Hong cresting San Francisco Hill, but was hampered by slower cars. Ling drew alongside Hong at the Reservoir Bend to start lap 11, but decided not to pass him on the Mandarin Oriental Bend. Chang had cut Leong's three-second lead to 0.723 seconds during the lap 11 when they encountered slower cars.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, Main race
On the final lap, a lapped car on San Francisco Hill delayed Leong enough for Chang to catch up. On his third attempt, Leong won the race in 36 minutes, 38.984 seconds. He was the first driver from Macau to win the Macau Grand Prix since André Couto in 2000, and the third in race history. Chang finished second, 0.513-second behind, and Li was 23 seconds later in third for the event's first all-Asian podium since 1971. The final 15 classified finishers were Lu, Hong, Ling, He, Shang, Zhu, Wei, Jing, Weifu, Zheng, Zeng and Hon. The race gave Huang the Masters' Cup, with Li taking Rookie of the Year honours and Leo Geeke Team winning the Teams' Cup.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, After the race
The top three finishers appeared on the podium and at a later press conference. Leong said about his victory, "I just reached one of my childhood dreams, I’m a bit wordless I don't know how to describe what I’m feeling right now, I feel like I’m dreaming." He added, "I had a couple of cars blocking me through the mountain part [late in the race] and I was struggling quite a bit to get past them. In the end it was really, really close. I think I used my tyres a bit too quick at the start of the race.


2020 Macau Grand Prix, After the race
It was pretty tough." Leong said that he was aware that residents were unhappy that the Grand Prix was held during the COVID-19 pandemic, but felt it important to show that Macau was safe for visitors from mainland China. Chang said about his second-place finish, "In the beginning I was trying to get closer, but Charles was so quick, I couldn't catch him. And then on the last lap I saw there was a slow car in front, and I thought I had a chance. But I'm really happy to finish second." Third-place finisher Li said he liked being allowed to take part in the race but admitted to being slightly nervous being around the media covering the event. He concluded the race "was an excellent first experience."

The 2020 Maine Democratic presidential primary took place in Maine, United States, on March 3, 2020, as one of 14 contests scheduled on Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election, following the South Carolina primary the weekend before. The Maine primary was a closed primary, meaning that only registered Democrats could vote in this primary. The state awarded 32 delegates towards the 2020 Democratic National Convention, 24 of which are pledged delegates allocated based on the results of the primary. Although the primary was only open to party members, unenrolled voters were permitted to enroll in a party at the polls with same day registration.

2020 Maine Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Maine is one of 14 states holding primaries on March 3, 2020, also known as "Super Tuesday", following the signing of a bill changing the state's nominating contest from a caucus to a primary on the first Tuesday in March by Governor Janet Mills on June 20, 2019. Although a bill expanding the use of ranked choice voting to presidential primary and general elections was passed by the legislature, Governor Mills delayed implementation until after the 2020 primary.


2020 Maine Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Voting is expected to take place throughout the state from 6:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. in much of the state, with some precincts opening as late as 10:00 a.m. In the closed primary, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 24 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention will be allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary.


2020 Maine Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Of the 24 pledged delegates, between 7 and 9 are allocated to each of the state's 2 congressional districts and another 3 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 5 at-large pledged delegates. Bonus delegates will be allocated as Maine shares a primary date with numerous other states on Super Tuesday; these numbers do not yet account for these delegates.


2020 Maine Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
The state convention will subsequently be held on Saturday, May 30, 2020 to vote on the 16 pledged district, 5 pledged at-large, and 3 PLEO delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention. The 24 pledged delegates Maine sends to the national convention will be joined by 8 unpledged PLEO delegates (4 members of the Democratic National Committee; 2 members of Congress, of which both are U.S. Representatives; the governor; and former U.S. Senate majority leader George J. Mitchell).

2020 Maine Question 1
2020 Maine Question 1 was a people's veto referendum that sought to reject a new law which eliminated religious and philosophical exemptions from school vaccination requirements and for employees of nursery schools and health care facilities. The question appeared on the March 3, 2020 statewide ballot.


2020 Maine Question 1
The vote coincided with the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries for the U.S. presidential election in November 2020.


2020 Maine Question 1, LD 798
On April 23, 2019, The Maine House of Representatives voted 78-59 to pass LD 798, "An Act To Protect Maine Children and Students from Preventable Diseases by Repealing Certain Exemptions from the Laws Governing Immunization Requirements". The bill was sponsored by Ryan Tipping (D-Orono).


2020 Maine Question 1, LD 798
The Maine State Senate passed the bill 20-15 on May 2 but amended it to keep religious exemptions. The House rejected the amendment on May 7 and sent the bill back to the Senate.


2020 Maine Question 1, LD 798
On May 23, the Senate reversed course and passed the bill, without the religious exemption, by a vote of 19-16. On May 24, 2019, Maine governor Janet Mills signed the bill into law effective September 2021. Maine thus became the fourth state in the US to allow only medical exemptions for school immunization requirements.


2020 Maine Question 1, Petition effort
Prior to the September 19, 2019 deadline, opponents of the new law submitted 95,071 signatures to Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap. Of those, 79,000 were deemed valid, surpassing the 63,067 required for the veto effort to be included on a statewide ballot. (In Maine, a number of valid signatures equalling 10% of the votes cast in the previous gubernatorial election are required for a people's veto to be accepted for inclusion on a statewide ballot.)


2020 Maine Question 1, Petition effort, Date of the vote
While signatures were being gathered, Dunlap's office told organizers of the veto effort that, if qualified for the ballot, the vote would coincide with state legislative and congressional primary elections in June 2020. However, that guidance failed to take into account the recent change in the law to hold primary elections for presidential nominees, as opposed to a caucus, on the March 3 Super Tuesday. Thus the referendum vote would be held on March 3, as it was the next scheduled statewide election. Dunlap's office admitted to the error, but said that it has no discretion over when to schedule elections and explained that timing is generally not discussed until petitions are submitted and validated, which had not happened yet.
